`as specified here <https://github.com/ARM-software/acle/blob/main/main/acle.md#modal-8-bit-floating-point-extensions>`_
is now available.
- Support has been added for the following processors (command-line identifiers in parentheses):
+
- Arm Cortex-A320 (``cortex-a320``)
+
- For ARM targets, cc1as now considers the FPU's features for the selected CPU or Architecture.
- The ``+nosimd`` attribute is now fully supported for ARM. Previously, this had no effect when being used with
ARM targets, however this will now disable NEON instructions being generated. The ``simd`` option is
also now printed when the ``--print-supported-extensions`` option is used.
- When a feature that depends on NEON (``simd``) is used, NEON is now automatically enabled.
- When NEON is disabled (``+nosimd``), all features that depend on NEON will now be disabled.
-- Support for __ptrauth type qualifier has been added.
+- Pointer authentication

+ - Support for __ptrauth type qualifier has been added.
+ - Objective-C adoption of pointer authentication
+
+ - ``isa`` and ``super`` pointers are protected with address diversity and separate
+ usage specific discriminators.
+ - methodlist pointers and content are protected with address diversity and methodlist
+ pointers have a usage specific discriminator.
+ - ``class_ro_t`` pointers are protected with address diversity and usage specific
+ discriminators.
+ - ``SEL`` typed ivars are protected with address diversity and usage specific
+ discriminators.

Does the `SEL` thing need more of a release note? The rest of this is all implementation-level, but `SEL` being implicitly `__ptrauth`ed makes it user-affecting, and we probably need to talk through it for the corner-case user using arm64e ObjC.
