This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
OpenOCD 0.5.0 source archive release.  See the repository
history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
and other issues not mentioned here.

JTAG Layer:
	New driver for "Bus Pirate"
	Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
	   There are migration procedures for these, but you should
	   convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
	   will not be around forever.
	   	jtag_khz	... is now adapter_khz
		jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
		jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width

Boundary Scan:

Target Layer:
	MIPS:
		- "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
		  obtained by using "reset_config none".
		- added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
		  required to be connected anymore.

Flash Layer:
	New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
		to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
		state to the factory defaults, including erasing
		the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
		re-enabling hardware debugging).
	PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
		has increased the performance by approx 96%.

Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
	Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)

Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
	New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
		as the "-s" cmd line option.
