 ELF Improvements
 ----------------
 
-* ``--print-gc-sections=<file>`` prints garbage collection section listing to a file.
+* Added ``--print-gc-sections=<file>`` to redirect garbage collection section
+  listing to a file, avoiding contamination of stdout with other linker output.
   (`#159706 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/159706>`_)
+* Added ``VersionNode`` lexer state for better version script parsing.
+  This brings the lexer behavior closer to GNU ld.
+  (`#174530 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/174530>`_)
+* ``-r``/``--emit-relocs``: Fixed a crash when processing relocation sections
+  that are placed before their relocated sections.
+  (`#156354 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/156354>`_)
+* Unversioned undefined symbols now use version index 0, aligning with
+  GNU ld 2.46 behavior.
+  (`#168189 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/168189>`_)
+* ``.data.rel.ro.hot`` and ``.data.rel.ro.unlikely`` are now recognized as
+  RELRO sections, allowing profile-guided static data partitioning.
+  (`#148920 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/148920>`_)
+* DTLTO now supports archive members and bitcode members of thin archives.
