 <h2>Other significant improvements</h2>

+<h3>Plugins</h3>
+  <ul>
+    <li>It is now possible to extend the compiler without having to
+    modify its source code.  A new option <code>-fplugin=file.so</code>
+    tells GCC to load the shared object <code>file.so</code> and execute
+    it as part of the compiler.  The internal documentation describes
+    the details on how plugins can interact with the compiler.</li>
