   system works as well as the Mother's Slackware reference.
 
-* fc-loadtool: added support for Spansion S29/S71PL032J and S29/S71PL064J flash
-  chips found in some modem modules; historical flash chip Am29DL640G is also
-  supported as it is identical to S29PL064J for our purposes.
+* The mystery of poor fc-loadtool and fc-xram performance on newer Linux host
+  systems with FTDI adapters has been solved and documented in the same
+  doc/Loadtools-performance article.

+* fc-loadtool changes:
+
+  + Added support for Spansion S29/S71PL032J and S29/S71PL064J flash chips:
+    these flash chips are found in some historical modem modules and may also
+    be used in future mass-produced FreeCalypso modem products.  Historical
+    flash chip Am29DL640G is also supported as it is identical to S29PL064J for
+    our purposes.
+
+  + The implementation of flash program-m0 and program-srec commands (needed
+    for flashing classic TI fw images with large gaps between discontiguous
+    program regions) has been revamped, making these commands work as well as
+    our generally preferred flash program-bin command: same performance, same
+    progress indication, same CRC-32 verification at the end.
 
 * loadtools config: the repertoire of -h targets has been significantly cleaned
   up and generalized, moving away from special cases and toward more generic
