 New features
 ------------
 
-OProfile tends to output obscure error message, some of them has been fixed
+OProfile now supports profiling Java applications.  See Section 1.4
+"Installation" in the user manual for instructions on how to build
+OProfile so that it includes this support.
+
+OProfile also includes a framework for adding support for profiling
+other just-in-time (JIT) compiled languages.  A new manual titled
+"OProfile JIT agent developer guide" is provided to aid developers.
+
+Added Xen support for IA64
+
+Added AVR32 support
+
+Add '--root' option to opreport which act as a replacement (a prefix)
+for the / fs
+
+Performance improvement for 'opreport --xml --details'.
+
+OProfile tends to output obscure error message. Some of these have been fixed.
+
+Changes required to build with gcc 4.3
 
 Bug fixes
 ---------
 
+Fix sym_offset calculation bug, seen on 64 bit systems with code mapped
+with an address >4G
+
+Fix opcontrol's calculation of kernel address range to include code found
+in sections other than just .text
+
+Fix opcontrol's short forms of --list-events (-l) and --dump (-d) so they
+work for non-root users
+
+Fix MMCR values and counter-to-event mappings on a few 970MP groups
+
+Turn off profiling in hypervisor on 970MP to prevent lost interrupts
+
+Update family10 events and unit_masks files to match the BIOS and Kernel
+Developer's Guide (current, as of May 20, 2008)
+
+Since --xml is not compatible with the --sort option, we warned against
+the use of --sort, but didn't reset the sort options to default.  This is
+now fixed.
+
+Fix silent failure of oprof_start for when a counter is missing (e.g, NMI
+watchdog is up)
+
+Change opcontrol to use "-SIG" instead of "-s SIG" since Busybox's
+implementation of "kill" doesn't understand the "-s SIG" option
+
+Fix 'opannotate -s' to work with inlined code
+
+Update POWER6 event files (add new event groupings; make some fixes to others)
+
+Fix "Dangling ESCAPE CODE" error that can occur on Cell BE SPE profiling
+
+Fix opreport for Cell BE SPE profiles to attribute samples to dynamically
+generated call stubs executed from SPE stack (for example, I/O calls to
+the libc library)
+
+Fix loop in 'opcontrol --dump' code when using --session-dir on a network
+drive (clock issues)
+
+Fix problem with 'oparchive --list-files' that can occur if file doesn't exist
+
+Fix user/kernel domain profiling switches for ppc64 architectures
+
+Fix the bfd_get_synthetic_symtab check in m4 macro to work correctly with
+'--with-binutils' configure option
+
+Fix ARM big-endian syscall
+
 bug #1820202, differential profile broken in 0.9.3, is fixed
+
 bug #1717298, mips events have incorrect id numbers, is fixed, all event
 number > 9 was incorrectly setup
+
 bug #1564920, opcontrol does not check if objdump exists is fixed, we error
 out and pinpoint the right error now
+
 bug #1819350, oparchive doesn't work with kernel module, is fixed (need another \
related fix, if you read that I forget about that, ping me please -- phe) +
 bug #1828566, --xml and -t and callgraph now output symboldata for all
 caller/callees
 
+bug #1930788, opreport error: basic_string::erase
+
+
