 ELF Improvements
 ----------------
 
+* Link speed improved greatly compared with lld 15.0. Notably input section
+  initialization and relocation scanning are now parallel.

 * ``ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD`` compressed input sections are now supported.

 * ``--compress-debug-sections=zstd`` is now available to compress debug

 * ``DT_RISCV_VARIANT_CC`` is now produced if at least one ``R_RISCV_JUMP_SLOT``
   relocation references a symbol with the ``STO_RISCV_VARIANT_CC`` bit.
   (`D107951 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D107951>`_)
+* ``DT_STATIC_TLS`` is now set for AArch64/PPC32/PPC64 initial-exec TLS models
+  when producing a shared object.
 * ``--no-undefined-version`` is now the default; symbols named in version
   scripts that have no matching symbol in the output will be reported. Use
   ``--undefined-version`` to revert to the old behavior.
+  (`D135402 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D135402>`_)
+* ``-V`` is now an alias for ``-v`` to support ``gcc -fuse-ld=lld -v`` on many targets.
+* ``-r`` no longer defines ``__global_pointer$`` or ``_TLS_MODULE_BASE_``.
+* A corner case of mixed GCC and Clang object files (``STB_WEAK`` and
+  ``STB_GNU_UNIQUE`` in 
diff erent COMDATs) is now supported.
+  (`D136381 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D136381>`_)
 * The output ``SHT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES`` section now merges all input components
   instead of picking the first input component.

+* For x86-32, ``-fno-plt`` GD/LD TLS models ``call *___tls_get_addr at GOT(%reg)``
+  are now supported. Previous output might have runtime crash.
+* Armv4(T) thunks are now supported.
