 ### 0.8.10 (unreleased)
 
 Language Features:
+ * Inline Assembly: Support ``.address`` and ``.selector`` on external function pointers to access their address and function selector.

 The variable can also be assigned a new offset, but note that no validation to ensure that
 the variable will not point beyond ``calldatasize()`` is performed.
 
+For external function pointers the address and the function selector can be
+accessed using ``x.address`` and ``x.selector``.
+The selector consists of four right-aligned bytes.
+Both values are can be assigned to. For example:

+.. code-block:: solidity

+    pragma solidity >=0.8.10 <0.9.0;

 For dynamic calldata arrays, you can access
 their calldata offset (in bytes) and length (number of elements) using ``x.offset`` and ``x.length``.
 Both expressions can also be assigned to, but as for the static case, no validation will be performed
