 <h2>General Optimizer Improvements (and Changes)</h2>
 
   <ul>
+    <li>A new general optimization level, <code>-Og</code>, has been
+      introduced.  It addresses the need for fast compilation and a
+      superior debugging experience while providing a reasonable level
+      of runtime performance.  Overall experience for development should
+      be better than the default optimization level <code>-O0</code>.
     <li>A new option <code>-ftree-partial-pre</code> was added to control
       the partial redundancy elimination (PRE) optimization.
       This option is enabled by default at the <code>-O3</code> optimization
