+* Ported new networking stack from FreeBSD to eCos. Includes IPv6 support.
+* Added generic power management support, plus platform support for the iPAQ.
+* Ported Microwindows windowing graphics system. This port is still alpha.
+* Added hooks in common ethernet driver for lwIP lightweight IP stack.
+* Added RedBoot only ports to Samsung Calmrisc16 and Calmrisc32 architectures.
+  Includes board ports to Calm16 Core and Calm32 Core eval boards. 
+* Added Samsung ARM KS32c5000 SNDS100 eval board port including RedBoot and
+  ethernet support. Contributed by Grant Edwards of Comtrol.
+* eCos+RedBoot port to the Altera ARM9 Excalibur board. Includes FLASH driver.
+* eCos+RedBoot port to Hitachi SH3-based HS7729PCI board, with SH 7729 CPU.
+  Includes FLASH, ethernet, watchdog and wallclock drivers. The ethernet
+  driver includes generic support for the VIA Rhine chipset.
+* eCos+RedBoot port to Hitachi SH3-based Solution Engine SE77x9 board.
+  Includes FLASH, ethernet, serial and watchdog drivers.
+* eCos+RedBoot port to Hitachi SH4-based Solution Engine SE7751 board.
+  Includes FLASH, ethernet, serial and watchdog drivers.
+* Support for the SH2 core, and SH2 on-chip etherc added.
+* Port to Matsushita AM33-2 based ASB2305 board added, including serial,
+  ethernet and FLASH support.
+* Ethernet, serial and USB drivers for NEC MIPS uPD985xx chip family added.
+* RedBoot-only port to MIPS Malta evaluation board (Mips32 4Kc and Mips64 5Kc
+  cores) added, including FLASH and ethernet support.
+* Port to NEC MIPS VRC4375-based 'Blue Nile' evaluation board. Includes
+  FLASH, serial and ethernet drivers (the latter being new support for the
+  i21143 chipset).
+* Ethernet driver for Intel i82544 Gigabit ethernet added.
+* Support for Samsung ARM KS32C5000 on-core ethernet broken out into "generic"
+  driver.
+* New architectural port to Fujitsu FR-V added. Initial board port to FR-V 400
+  development board, including RedBoot support and ethernet and FLASH drivers.
+  Currently pre-alpha quality only.
+* Support added to port remote file operations using the remote protocol for
+  newlib applications run under RedBoot.
+* eCos+RedBoot port to Intel XScale IQ80321 port added, including FLASH,
+  ethernet, and serial drivers.  
+* ARM Integrator port rewritten. Now includes ARM9 support.
+* RedBoot+eCos port to the Agilent ARM9-based AAED2000 evaluation board.
+  Includes FLASH, ethernet, keyboard and touchscreen drivers.
+* eCos relicensed to be under a GPL+exception licence, instead of the RHEPL.
+* All eCos documentation now available in DocBook format, licensed under the
+  OPL.
+* CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS now puts its headers in install/include/cyg/io/eth
+* All platforms are now expected to be using Virtual Vectors. The
+  option CYGINT_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT_NOT_GUARANTEED has been
+  removed so recently built applications will fail to run on
+  boards that have old-style GDB stubs without VV support.
+* Added ELF and wider decompression support to RedBoot.
+* Added support for SuperH SH2 CPUs
+* Added ports to Wuerz Elektronik and Axiom Manufacturing MPC555 based eval
