These tarballs were made with the "-r <date>" option supported by
the src-release.sh script. This attempts to make reproducible
tarballs by sorting the files and passing the "--mtime=<date>" option
to tar. The date used for these tarballs was obtained by running:
git log -1 --format=%cd --date=format:%F bfd/version.m4
As this is an even numbered release, the sources for the GOLD
linker are included.
This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new
features:
* Support for new instructions added to AMD, ARM and RISC-V
architectures.
* Support for version 3 of the SFrame standard.
* The readelf program can now display the contents of Global Offset
Tables.
* Improved linker tagging support.
