* NaCl target support is removed.
+* New command line option --discard-sframe which disables the
+ emission of .sframe output section in the linked output. This option also
+ prohibits the creation of SFrame stack trace info for linker-generated
+ sections like PLT. The existing linker option
+ --no-ld-generated-unwind-info no longer controls creation of .sframe data
+ for PLT.
+
+* The linker now supports processing and merging SFrame Version 3 sections.
+ The linker does not combine SFrame sections of older versions with SFrame
+ Version 3 sections. SFrame Version 2 sections should not be enabled in the
+ wild.

Changes in 2.45:
* On s390 64-bit (s390x), generate SFrame stack trace information (.sframe)
