+New features:
+- Support `_Static_assert` from ISO C11.
+- Support `__builtin_constant_p` from GCC and Clang.
+- New port: x86 64 bits Windows with the Cygwin 64 environment.
+ (configure with target `x86_64-cygwin`).
+- The following built-in functions are now available for all ports:
+ `__builtin_sqrt`, `__builtin_fabsf`, and all variants of
+ `__builtin_clz` and `__builtin_ctz`.
+- Added `__builtin_fmin` and `__builtin_fmax` for AArch64.
+
+Removed features:
+- The x86 32 bits port is no longer supported under macOS.
+
+Compiler internals:
+- Simpler translation of CompCert C casts used for their effects but
+ not for their values.
+- Known builtins whose results are unused are eliminated earlier.
+- Improved error reporting for `++` and `--` applied to pointers to
+ incomplete types.
+- Improved error reporting for redefinitions and implicit definitions
+ of built-in functions.
+- Added formal semantics for some PowerPC built-ins.
+
+The clightgen tool:
+- New `-canonical-idents` mode, selected by default, to change the way
+ C identifiers are encoded as CompCert idents (positive numbers).
+ In `-canonical-idents` mode, a fixed one-to-one encoding is used
+ so that the same identifier occurring in different compilation units
+ encodes to the same number.
+- The `-short-idents` flag restores the previous encoding where
+ C identifiers are consecutively numbered in order of appearance,
+ causing the same identifier to have different numbers in different
+ compilation units.
+- Removed the automatic translation of annotation builtins to Coq
+ logical assertions, which was never used and possibly confusing.
+
+Coq and OCaml development:
+- Compatibility with Coq 8.12.0, 8.11.2, 8.11.1.
+- Can use already-installed Flocq and MenhirLib libraries instead of their
+ local copies (options `-use-external-Flocq` and `-use-external-MenhirLib`
+ to the `configure` script).
+- Automatically build to OCaml bytecode on platforms where OCaml
+ native-code compilation is not available.
+- Install the `compcert.config` summary of configuration choices
+ in the same directory as the Coq development.
+- Updated the list of dual-licensed source files.
