+# Version 20.0.0.0
+
+* Compiling and running gem5 with Python 3 is now fully supported.
+* Compiling and running gem5 with GCC 8 and 9 is now supported.
+* Scons-based tests have been migrated to the testlib framework. Please
consult TESTING.md for more information on how these may be run.
+* Support for the ALPHA ISA has been dropped.
+* Memory SimObjects can now be initialized using an image file using the
image_file parameter.
+* The m5 utility has been revamped with a new build system based on scons,
tests, and updated and more consistent feature support.
+* Robust support for marshalling data from a function call inside the
simulation to a function within gem5 using a predefined set of rules.
+* Workload configuration pulled out into its own object, simplifying the
System object and making workload configuration more modular and flexible.
