This change also removes a bunch of boilerplate and stuffing which made it unnecessarily hard to navigate and see the comparatively miniscule actual content that was added to this document during the 3.2 development period (or maybe even sticking around from earlier releases...). The new organization (a flat list) optimizes for making it easy for people who know about changes to add them to the document. It's completely trivial for anyone with basic knowledge of LLVM to come in later (such as when preparing for the actual release) and cluster any changes into logical groups. However, I have left some comments indicating how to add larger descriptions, if someone is feeling adventurous ;) Hopefully this organization will highlight how little effort is being put into producing accurate, high-quality release notes, prompting a corresponding improvement for the 3.3 release. I have preserved the changes to this document that are not present in the 3.2 release notes. There were only two... I'm pretty sure we've been busier than that... (version control shows +213347/-173656 raw lines just in the LLVM repo since the 3.2 release). git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@172954 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM 3.3 release. You may

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
|
|
release 3.3. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
|
|
from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
|
|
some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
|
|
from the `LLVM releases web site <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
|
|
|
|
For more information about LLVM, including information about the latest
|
|
release, please check out the `main LLVM web site <http://llvm.org/>`_. If you
|
|
have questions or comments, the `LLVM Developer's Mailing List
|
|
<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev>`_ is a good place to send
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you are reading this file from a Subversion checkout or the main
|
|
LLVM web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not the current
|
|
one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the `releases
|
|
page <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

|
Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE
|
|
For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
|
|
this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
|
|
point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
|
|
functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
|
|
for adding a new subsection.
|
|
|
|
* The CellSPU port has been removed. It can still be found in older versions.
|
|
|
|
* The IR-level extended linker APIs (for example, to link bitcode files out of
|
|
archives) have been removed. Any existing clients of these features should
|
|
move to using a linker with integrated LTO support.
|
|
|
|
* ... next change ...
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE
|
|
If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
|
|
subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
|
|
and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).

|
|
|
Special New Feature
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Makes programs 10x faster by doing Special New Thing.
|
|
|
|
Additional Information
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
A wide variety of additional information is available on the `LLVM web page
|
|
<http://llvm.org/>`_, in particular in the `documentation
|
|
<http://llvm.org/docs/>`_ section. The web page also contains versions of the
|
|
API documentation which is up-to-date with the Subversion version of the source
|
|
code. You can access versions of these documents specific to this release by
|
|
going into the ``llvm/docs/`` directory in the LLVM tree.
|

us via the `mailing lists <http://llvm.org/docs/#maillist>`_.
