+* News for v0.98.3:
+
+** Make it possible to link against libunwind-ia64.a only (i.e., without
+ requiring libunwind.a as well). This keeps apps which need only
+ remote unwinding cleaner, since they logically have no dependency
+ on libunwind.a.
+** Dont link against libatomic_ops for now. Due to a packaging bug on
+ Debian, linking against this library causes libunwind.so to get
+ a dependency on libatomic_ops.so, which is not at all what we want.
+ Fortunately, we don't have to link against that library on x86 or
+ ia64 since the library is strictly needed only for platforms with
+ poor atomic operation support. Once the libatomic_ops package is fixed,
+ we can re-enable linking against libatomic_ops.
+
+* News for v0.98.2:
+
+** Fixed bug which caused _UPT_get_dyn_info_list_addr() to sometimes fail
+ needlessly. Found by Todd L. Miller.
+
+** When using GCC to build libunwind on ia64, libunwind.so had an
+ unresolved reference to __divdi3. This is undesirable since it
+ creates an implicit dependency on libgcc. This problem has been
+ fixed in the 0.98.2 release by explicitly linking against libgcc.a
+ when building libunwind.
+
* News for v0.98.1:
** Fixed a bug which caused "make install" to install libunwind-common.h.in
