I think the entries in the NEWS files listed on

    https://sourceware.org/binutils/

are good enough. For example,

https://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/binutils/NEWS?rev=1.109&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=src&only_with_tag=binutils-binutils-2_23_2

has

Changes in 2.23:

* Add support for the VLE extension to the PowerPC architecture.

* Add support for x64 Windows target of the delayed-load-library.

* Add support for the Renesas RL78 architecture.

Changes in 2.22:

* Add support for displaying the contents of .debug.macro sections.

* Add --preprocessor-arg option to windres to specify additional options
  passed to preprocessor.

* Add --dwarf-start and --dwarf-end to readelf and objdump.  These are used by
  the new Emacs mode, see dwarf-mode.el.

* Add support for the Tilera TILEPro and TILE-Gx architectures.
