nasm was updated to version 2.14.02:
- Fix crash due to multiple errors or warnings during the code generation pass if a list file is specified.
- Create all system-defined macros defore processing command-line given preprocessing directives (-p, -d, -u, --pragma, --before).
- If debugging is enabled, define a DEBUG_FORMAT predefined macro. See section 4.11.7.
- Fix an assert for the case in the obj format when a SEG operator refers to an EXTERN symbol declared further down in the code.
- Fix a corner case in the floating-point code where a binary, octal or hexadecimal floating-point having at least 32, 11, or 8 mantissa digits could produce slightly incorrect results under very specific conditions.
- Support -MD without a filename, for gcc compatibility. -MF can be used to set the dependencies output filename. See section 2.1.7.
- Fix -E in combination with -MD. See section 2.1.21.
- Fix missing errors on redefined labels; would cause convergence failure instead which is very slow and not easy to debug.
- Duplicate definitions of the same label with the same value is now explicitly permitted (2.14 would allow it in some circumstances.)
- Add the option --no-line to ignore %line directives in the source. See section 2.1.33 and section 4.10.1.
- Changed -I option semantics by adding a trailing path separator unconditionally.
- Fixed null dereference in corrupted invalid single line macros.
- Fixed division by zero which may happen if source code is malformed.
- Fixed out of bound access in processing of malformed segment override.
- Fixed out of bound access in certain EQU parsing.
- Fixed buffer underflow in float parsing.
- Added SGX (Intel Software Guard Extensions) instructions.
- Added +n syntax for multiple contiguous registers.
- Fixed subsectionsviasymbols for macho object format.
- Added the --gprefix, --gpostfix, --lprefix, and --lpostfix command line options, to allow command line base symbol renaming. See section 2.1.28.
- Allow label renaming to be specified by %pragma in addition to from the command line. See section 6.9.
- Supported generic %pragma namespaces, output and debug. See section 6.10.
- Added the --pragma command line option to inject a %pragma directive. See section 2.1.29.
- Added the --before command line option to accept preprocess statement before input. See section 2.1.30.
- Added AVX512 VBMI2 (Additional Bit Manipulation), VNNI (Vector Neural Network), BITALG (Bit Algorithm), and GFNI (Galois Field New Instruction) instructions.
- Added the STATIC directive for local symbols that should be renamed using global-symbol rules. See section 6.8.
- Allow a symbol to be defined as EXTERN and then later overridden as GLOBAL or COMMON. Furthermore, a symbol declared EXTERN and then defined will be treated as GLOBAL. See section 6.5.
- The GLOBAL directive no longer is required to precede the definition of the symbol.
- Support private_extern as macho specific extension to the GLOBAL directive. See section 7.8.5.
- Updated UD0 encoding to match with the specification
- Added the --limit-X command line option to set execution limits. See section 2.1.31.
- Updated the Codeview version number to be aligned with MASM.
- Added the --keep-all command line option to preserve output files. See section 2.1.32.
- Added the --include command line option, an alias to -P (section 2.1.18).
- Added the --help command line option as an alias to -h (section 3.1).
- Added -W, -D, and -Q suffix aliases for RET instructions so the operand sizes of these instructions can be encoded without using o16, o32 or o64.
New upstream version 2.13.03:
- Add flags: AES, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ

optimization if the alignment code expanded too much due to
optimization of the previous code.

panic instead of an error.
- Fix the incorrect generation of VEX-encoded instruction
when static mode decorators are specified on scalar instructions,
losing the decorators as they require EVEX encoding.
- Fix generation of dependency lists.
- Fixes macro calls that have the wrong number of arguments
(bsc#1073796, CVE-2017-17810)
- Fixes Heap-based buffer overflow allows related to a strcpy
in paste_tokens (bsc#1073798, CVE-2017-17811)

nasm was updated to version 2.13.01:
- Fix incorrect output for some types of FAR or SEG references in
the obj output format, and possibly other 16-bit output formats.
- Fix the address in the list file for an instruction containing
a TIMES directive.
- Fix error with TIMES used together with an instruction which
can vary in size, e.g. JMP.
- Fix breakage on some uses of the DZ pseudo-op.
nasm was updated to version 2.13.00:
- Support the official forms of the UD0 and UD1 instructions.
- Allow self-segment-relative expressions in immediates and
displacements
- Handle a 64-bit origin in NDISASM.
- NASM can now generate sparse output files for relevant output
formats, if the underlying operating system supports them.
- Fix a number of bugs related to AVX-512 decorators.
- Fix the {z} decorator on AVX-512 VMOVDQ* instructions.
- Add new warnings for certain dangerous constructs which never
ought to have been allowed.
- Fix the EVEX (AVX-512) versions of the VPBROADCAST, VPEXTR, and
VPINSR instructions.
- Support contracted forms of additional instructions.
- Fix Codeview malformed compiler version record.
- Add the CLWB and PCOMMIT instructions.
- Add the %pragma preprocessor directive for soft-error
directives.
- Add the RDPID instruction.
nasm was updated to version 2.12.02:
- Fix preprocessor errors, especially %error and %warning, inside
if statements.
- Fix relative relocations in 32-bit Mach-O.
- More Codeview debug format fixes.
- If the MASM PTR keyword is encountered, issue a warning. This
is much more likely to indicate a MASM-ism encountered in NASM
than it is a valid label.
- This warning can be suppressed with -w-ptr, the [warning]
directive (see section 2.1.24) or by the macro definition
%idefine ptr %??.
- When an error or a warning comes from the expansion of a
multi-line macro, display the file and line numbers for the
expanded macros.
- Macros defined with .nolist do not get displayed.
- Add macros ilog2fw() and ilog2cw() to the ifunc macro package.
See section 5.4.1.
nasm was updated to version 2.12.01:
- Portability fixes for some platforms.
- Fix error when not specifying a list file.
- Correct the handling of macro-local labels in the Codeview
debugging format.
- Add CLZERO, MONITORX and MWAITX instructions.
nasm was updated to version 2.12:
- Major fixes to the macho backend (section 7.8); earlier
versions would produce invalid symbols and relocations on a
regular basis.
- Support for thread-local storage in Mach-O.
- Support for arbitrary sections in Mach-O.
- Fix wrong negative size treated as a big positive value passed
into backend causing NASM to crash.
- Fix handling of zero-extending unsigned relocations, we have
been printing wrong message and forgot to assign segment with
predefined value before passing it into output format.
- Fix potential write of oversized (with size greater than
allowed in output format) relative relocations.
- Portability fixes for building NASM with LLVM compiler.
- Add support of Codeview version 8 (cv8) debug format for win32
and win64 formats in the COFF backend, see section 7.5.3.
- Allow 64-bit outputs in 16/32-bit only backends. Unsigned
64-bit relocations are zero-extended from 32-bits with a
warning (suppressible via -w-zext-reloc); signed 64-bit
relocations are an arror.
- Line numbers in list files now correspond to the lines in the
source files, instead of simply being sequential.
nasm was updated to version 2.11.09:
- Fix potential stack overwrite in macho32 backend.
- Fix relocation records in macho64 backend.
- Fix symbol lookup computation in macho64 backend.
- Adjust .symtab and .rela.text sections alignments to 8 bytes
in elf64 backed.
- Fix section length computation in bin backend which leaded in
incorrect relocation records.
nasm was updated to version 2.11.08:
- Fix section length computation in bin backend which leaded in
incorrect relocation records.
- Add a warning for numeric preprocessor definitions passed via
command line which might have unexpected results otherwise.
- Add ability to specify a module name record in rdoff linker
