+*** Binary packages now available for i686-linux
+
+The build farm at http://hydra.gnu.org now provides 32-bit GNU/Linux binaries
+(i686-linux), in addition to the x86_64-linux binaries.  Both can be
+transparently used as substitutes for local builds on these platforms.
+
+*** Debug info packages
+
+Some packages now have a “debug” output containing debugging information.  The
+“debug” output can be used by GDB, and can be installed separately from the
+other outputs of the package.  See “Installing Debugging Files” in the manual.
+
+*** Bootstrap binaries can be cross-compiled
+
+The distribution can now be ported to new architectures (currently
+GNU/Linux-only) by cross-compiling the “bootstrap binaries”.  See “Porting”
+in the manual.
+
+*** Bootstrapping documented
+
+See “Bootstrapping” in the manual, for information on how the GNU
+distribution builds “from scratch”.
