@@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ Compiler Features:
  * Code Generator: Use binary search for dispatch function if more efficient. The size/speed tradeoff can be tuned using ``--optimize-runs``.
  * SMTChecker: Support mathematical and cryptographic functions in an uninterpreted way.
  * Type Checker: Add an additional reason to be displayed when type conversion fails.
+ * Yul: Support object access via ``datasize``, ``dataoffset`` and ``datacopy`` in standalone assembly mode.
