 ----------------
 
+* Experimental CREL relocations with explicit addends are now supported using the
+  temporary section type code 0x40000020 (``clang -c -Wa,--crel,--allow-experimental-crel``).
+  LLVM will change the code and break compatibility (Clang and lld of different
+  versions are not guaranteed to cooperate, unlike other features). CREL with
+  implicit addends are not supported.
