 2. New Features
 ===============================================================================
 
-* Mellanox InfiniScaleIV switch support.
-  Mstflint and the mflash lib support burning of this switch device.
-  mstregdump can dump InfiniScaleIV registers
+* Added support for flash type SST25VF016B in mstflint
+
+* Added support for flash type M25PX16 in mstflint
 
-* Added hca_self_test.ofed tool to the package.
-  See file hca_self_test.readme included in the package for details.
+* Added an option to set the VSD and GUIDs (mstflint command 'sv' and 'sg') in 
+  a binary image file. This is useful for production to prepare images for pre-
+  assembly flash burning. These new commands are supported by Mellanox 4th 
+  generation devices.
+  
+* Added an option to set the VSD and GUIDs (mstflint command 'sv' and 'sg') on
+  an already burnt device. These command re-burn the existing image with the
+  given GUIDs or VSD.
+  When the 'sg' command is applied on a device with blank (0xff) GUIDs, it
+  updates the GUIDs without re-burning the image.
+
+* mstregdump: Updated address list for ConnectX2 device.
