In the NEWS file, you refer to it as the "verilog binary file format".
There is something called the verilog binary file format, but this isn't
it. This is the verilog memory hex dump format. The "binary files"
serve the same purpose as the hex files, but instead of ASCII hex digits
it's a text file full of '1' and '0' strings. I've committed this minor
but obvious tweak to the NEWS file...
