+
+ Version 2.6 released.
+ * Makefile.in (VERSION): Updated to 2.6.

+ * config/tc-mips.c (s_mipserr): Renamed from s_err, to avoid
+ conflict with read.h.
+
+ * config/obj-coff.c (write_object_file): Change use of md_do_align
+ to pass a pointer rather than a fill value, to match other uses.

+
+ * config/tc-ns32k.h (TC_FIX_TYPE): Add missing semicolon.
