 Changes to the MIPS Target
 --------------------------
 
- During this release ...
+* Improved support of GlobalISel instruction selection framework.
+
+* Implemented emission of ``R_MIPS_JALR`` and ``R_MICROMIPS_JALR``
+  relocations. These relocations provide hints to a linker for optimization
+  of jumps to protected symbols.
+
+* ORC JIT has been supported for MIPS and MIPS64 architectures.
+
+* Assembler now suggests alternative MIPS instruction mnemonics when
+  an invalid one is specified.
+
+* Improved support for MIPS N32 ABI.
+
+* Added new instructions (``pll.ps``, ``plu.ps``, ``cvt.s.pu``,
+  ``cvt.s.pl``, ``cvt.ps``, ``sigrie``).
 
+* Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
