+## 2020-09-14 Promote the 2020-09-03 release to be the default EEPROM images.
+   * Promote the 2020-09-03 bootloader EEPROM and VLI 0138A1 as the default

+    
+   Interesting changes since 2020-04-16:-
+
+   * Add support for booting from USB mass storage devices.
+   * Add support for bootloader updates for USB MSD or network boot (self-update)
+   * Improve compatibility for USB devices which require the USB port power
+     to be switched off for a period of time during a reboot.
+   * Add support GPT and Hybrid MBR partition tables.
+   * Add support for EEPROM write-protect.
+   * Add the ability to loop between different boot-modes until a bootable
+     image is found. The default is to loop between SD and USB-MSD.
+   * VLI 0138A1 - Improve full-speed isochronous endpoint support.

 ## Old EEPROM images
-Recovery images are only created for production images or for major test releases e.g. USB MSD boot. Old bootloader images are periodically
-removed from the APT package to reduce the disk space. The binaries can still be downloaded from Github [here](https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/tree/master/firmware/old)
-but are not supported and may fail to boot on newer revisions of the hardware.
-For example, the Pi 4 8GB requires bootloader version 2020-04-16 or newer.
