 Changes to the LLVM tools
 ---------------------------------
 
+* ``llvm-readobj --elf-output-style=JSON`` no longer prefixes each JSON object
+  with the file name. Previously, each object file's output looked like
+  ``"main.o":{"FileSummary":{"File":"main.o"},...}`` but is now
+  ``{"FileSummary":{"File":"main.o"},...}``. This allows each JSON object to be
+  parsed in the same way, since each object no longer has a unique key. Tools
+  that consume ``llvm-readobj``'s JSON output should update their parsers
+  accordingly.
