| 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. |
| |
| * LLVM and Clang's documentation has been migrated to the `Sphinx |
| <http://sphinx-doc.org/>`_ documentation generation system which uses |
| easy-to-write reStructuredText. See `llvm/docs/README.txt` for more |
| information. |
| |
| * ... 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. |
| |
| If you have any questions or comments about LLVM, please feel free to contact |
| us via the `mailing lists <http://llvm.org/docs/#maillist>`_. |
