 Changes in the current code since fc-host-tools-r12:
 
-* fc-loadtool memory dump commands (dump2bin and dump2srec) have been
-  reimplemented using loadagent's new BINDUMP command, sending the dump stream
-  from the target to the host in binary format instead of hex.  This change
-  speeds up the dump transfer time by a little over 2x.

+  + Memory dump commands (dump2bin and dump2srec) have been reimplemented using
+    loadagent's new BINDUMP command, sending the dump stream from the target to
+    the host in binary format instead of hex.  This change speeds up the dump
+    transfer time by a little over 2x.
 
-* fc-loadtool flash programming commands (flash program-bin, program-m0 and
-  program-srec) have likewise been changed to use a new binary protocol,
-  producing some improvement in flash programming times, particularly when a
-  slow 115200 baud serial link has to be used.
+  + Flash programming commands flash program-bin, program-m0 and program-srec
+    have likewise been changed to use a new binary protocol, producing some
+    improvement in flash programming times - see the updated
+    doc/Loadtools-performance article.
+
+  + New combined erase+program commands have been implemented: flash
+    e-program-bin, e-program-m0 and e-program-srec.  See the new
+    doc/Flash-programming article for explanation of the intended usage.
 
 * fc-xram uses the new binary protocol to transfer the user's XRAM image to the
   target, producing a speed increase of 3.5x to 5x for the most common use
