+    <li>The AVR port's libgcc has been improved and its multilib structure
+      has been enhanced.  As a result, all objects contributing to an
+      application must either be compiled with GCC versions up to 4.6.x or
+      with GCC versions 4.7.0 or later.</li>

     <li>The ARM port's <code>-mwords-little-endian</code> option has
     been deprecated.  It will be removed in a future release.</li>

+      <code>__flash</code>, <code>__flash1</code>,&hellip;,

+      These address spaces locate read-only data in
+      flash memory and allow reading from flash memory by means of ordinary
+      C code, i.e. without the need of (inline) assembler code.</li>
+    <li>Support for AVR-specific <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AVR-Built_002din-Functions.html">built-in functions</a>
+      has beed added.</li>
+    <li>Support has beed added for the built-in, 24-bit, signed and unsigned
+      integer types <code>__int24</code> and <code>__uint24</code>.</li>
+    <li>New command-line options <code>-maccumulate-args</code>,
+      <code>-mbranch-cost=<i>cost</i></code> and <code>-mstrict-X</code>
+      were added to allow better fine-tuning of code optimization.</li>
+    <li>Many optimizations to:
+      <ul>
+	<li>64-bit integer arithmetic</li>
+	<li>Widening multiplication</li>
+	<li>Integer division by a constant</li>
+	<li>Generic built-in functions like
+	  <code>__builtin_ffs*</code>, <code>__builtin_clz*</code>, etc.</li>
+	<li>If-else decision trees generated by <code>switch</code> instructions</li>
+	<li>Merging of data located in flash memory</li>
+	<li>New libgcc variants for devices with 8-bit wide stack pointer</li>
+	<li>&hellip;</li>
+      </ul>
+    <li>Better documentation:
+      <ul>
+	<li>Handling of <code>EIND</code> and indirect jumps on devices with
