 *** ChibiOS next general improvements ***
 
-- WolfSSL 1.12.2 has been integrated. HTTPS demo added.
-- FatFS 0.13 has been integrated.
-- lwIP 2.0.3 has been integrated.
-- CMSIS 5.1.1 has been integrated.
+- CMSIS 5.4.0 has been integrated.
 - Improved build system based on make.
-- Improved integration with Eclipse, launch configurations have been
-  centralized for many projects.
-- Several HAL and test applications have become "multi projects", a single
-  project is able to build for multiple targets/boards.
-- Improved test engine.
-- Added a test suite generator written in FTL, now it is possible to generate
-  test code without the need of SPC5Studio.
-- Added a board files generator written in FTL, now it is possible to generate
-  board files without the need of ChibiStudio.
+- Now it is possible to define separate directories for each configuration
+  file.
+- Demo projects reworked to use the new make system and remove configuration
+  files from the root.
+- Linker scripts improvements.
 
 *** What's new in RT/NIL ports ***
 
-- GHS compiler support added to the Power e200z port.
-- Experimental ARM Cortex-A Trust Zone support.
-
-*** What's new in OS Library ***
-
-- OS library now has its own test suite.
-- Mailbox API names changed by adding "Timeout" to those function that have
-  timeout capability, for consistency with the rest of the system.
-- Added an "Objects Factory" to the OS Library, it allows to dynamically
-  allocate reference-counted kernel objects/buffers or to register
-  static objects. Allocated/registered objects can be retrieved by name.
-- Added an "Objects FIFO" object to the OS Library, it allows to
-  exchange complex objects between threads/ISRs. It is based on a
-  mailbox and a guarded memory pool.
-- Added alignment handling to memory pools.
-- Added a new chGuardedPoolAllocI() API to the guarded memory pools.

-*** What's new in RT 5.0.0 ***
-
-- The type systime_t has been split in systime_t and sysinterval_t, the
-  two can have different size. The system is now more rigorous in time
-  handling, an absolute time is something different from an interval,
-  sysinterval_t can be larger than the systime_t, this means that it is
-  now possible to use very long intervals when the system time uses a small
-  counter.
-- Time conversion macros have been renamed in TIME_S2I(), TIME_MS2I(),
-  TIME_US2(), TIME_I2S(), TIME_I2MS() and TIME_I2US. Conversion is now done
-  by casting all operands to a large time_conv_t type improving safety by
-  eliminating integer truncations.
-- Time conversion functions have been renamed in: chTimeS2I(), chTimeMS2I(),
-  chTimeUS2I(), chTimeI2S(), chTimeI2MS() and chTimeI2US().
-- New functions have been added for dealing with operations with time and
-  intervals: chTimeAddX() and chTimeDiffX().
-- All functions that have a timeout parameter now take a sysinterval_t type
-  instead of systime_t.
-- Improved test suite.
-- Enhanced Events API, added chEvtGetAndClearEventsI() and chEvtAddEventsI().
-- The chconf.h configuration files now are tagged with the version
-  number for safety. The system rejects obsolete files during
-  compilation. Stronger checks are performed on chconf.h, now missing
-  settings trigger an error instead of getting a default.

-*** What's new in HAL 6.0.0 ***
-
-- Added a Managed Flash Storage module to the HAL. This modules handles
-  garbage collection, storage self-repair and wear leveling.
-- Improved serial driver.
-  - Added a "control" function to the channels interface, it allows to add
-    custom features to the various implementations.
-  - Added I-class functions to the serial driver: sdGetI(), sdReadI(),
-    sdPutI() and sdWriteI().
-- Improved PAL driver.
-  - Added an user parameter to the PAL callbacks for consistency with other
-    drivers.
-  - Added blocking functions for edge synchronization: palWaitLineTimeout()
-    and palWaitLineTimeoutS().
-- Improved SPI driver.
-  - Now there are multiple modes for CS handling: by PAL pad (previous one), by
-    PAL line, by PAL port mask and LLD-specific.
-  - Added circular continuous mode to the SPI driver.
-- Improved CAN driver.
-  - Added callback capability to the CAN driver. Now it is possible to use
-    callbacks in place of classic events.
-- Improved USB driver.
-  - Added a usbWakeupHost() function for standby exit.
-- Improved HAL queues to increase performance. Added new functions: iqGetI(),
-  iqReadI(), oqPutI() and oqWriteI().

-*** What's new in EX 1.0.0 ***
-
-- No changes.
+- Added a sanity check on GCC version for ARMv6-M, a version below 6
+  must be used.
+
+*** What's new in OS Library 1.0.0 ***
+
+- Separated OSLIB from RT and NIL, now it is a separate "product" with
+  its own version, configuration file and licensing. The library will
+  grow to include more functionalities.
+  RT and NIL will contain only the core functionalities, everything else
+  is shared library code.
+- Added a new "pipes" subsystem.
+- Many improvements in Memory Pools, Object FIFOs.
+- Stricter alignment checks in memory pools.
+- chFifoObjectInit() renamed to chFifoObjectInitAligned(). Added a new
+  chFifoObjectInit() without the alignment parameter.
+
+*** What's new in RT 6.0.0 ***
+
+- C++ wrapper reworked, now it is mostly inline code, added some new
+  wrappers and methods. Added wrappers for more API functions. BaseThreads
+  are no more descendants of ThreadReference.
+- Change, chMtxGetNextMutexS() renamed to chMtxGetNextMutexX().
+- Added a new function chMtxGetOwnerI() to mutexes.
+
+*** What's new in NIL 3.2.0 ***
+
+- Added chThdResume() function.
+
+*** What's new in HAL 7.0.0 ***
+
+- Added new SIO, TRNG, WSPI driver models.
+- Removed EXT, QSPI driver models.
+- Removed TRNG functionality from CRY driver.
+- Low level drivers simplification. There is a new template of LLD, now
+  driver and configuration types are defined in the HLD, LLD just exports
+  macros with the fields to be added to the structures.
+  So far the drivers updated are: ADC, DAC, I2S, RTC, SPI, TRNG, WSPI.
+- New infrastructure for Serial NOR Flash devices.
+- New and improved MFS subsystem.
+- Improved CRY driver with better keys loading.
+- Added a new "persistent storage" base class.
+- Modified the RTC driver to implement the persistent storage interface
+  instead of files interface.
+- Added optional support for character match callback in the UART
+  high level driver.
+- Added new functions to I/O queues: qSetLink().
+- ADC driver state machine change, now the state ADC_COMPLETE is set
+  before calling the 2nd callback even in circular mode. This has been
+  done for consistency with other drivers with circular buffers.
+- The callbacks of drivers with circular buffers (ADC, DAC, I2S, SPI) have
+  been simplified, no parameters. A driver function xxxIsBufferComplete()
+  has been added to determine if it is the half buffer callback or the
+  final callback.
+- Event enable check API added to PAL driver.
+
+*** What's new in EX 1.1.0 ***
+
+- All drivers updated.
+- Added support for LDM303AGR 6 axis Accelerometer\Magnetometer MEMS.
+- Added support for LSM6DSL 6 axis Accelerometer\Gyroscope MEMS.
+- Added support for LPS22HB 2 axis Barometer\Thermometer MEMS.
