 * ``-z nosectionheader`` has been implemented to omit the section header table.
   The operation is similar to ``llvm-objcopy --strip-sections``.
   (`#101286 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/101286>`_)
+* ``--randomize-section-padding=<seed>`` is introduced to insert random padding
+  between input sections and at the start of each segment.

+  ``--dependency-file=`` argument are now stripped to fix non-existent
+  directory error when you invoke ``ld.lld @response.txt``.
+* ``--symbol-ordering-file=`` and call graph profile can now be used together.
+* When ``--call-graph-ordering-file=`` is specified, ``.llvm.call-graph-profile``
+  sections in relocatable files are no longer used.
+* In relocatable links, the ``sh_entsize`` member of a ``SHF_MERGE`` section
+  with relocations is now respected in the output.
+* Quoted symbol names can now be used in output section phdr, the LHS of
+  ``--defsym``, and ``INSERT AFTER``.
 * Section ``CLASS`` linker script syntax binds input sections to named classes,
   which are referenced later one or more times. This provides access to the
   automatic spilling mechanism of `--enable-non-contiguous-regions` without
   globally changing the semantics of section matching. It also independently
   increases the expressive power of linker scripts.

+* The ``achivename:`` syntax when matching input sections is now supported.
