The History of Middle-Earth also contains later versions of the Silmarillion -- for example, the later Quenta Silmarillion, the later Annals (used in the construction of the 1977 Silmarillion), and other writings that post-date the writing of The Lord of the Rings... and lots of other great stuff (plenty of earlier stuff as well)!
Gil-galad as a Finarfinian was also JRRT's latest known thought there (Gil-galad as the son of Orodreth).
