				17	This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
Hans Wennborg	1fe469a	2019-01-16 10:57:02 +0000	[diff] [blame]	18	release 9.0.0. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
Dmitri Gribenko	38782b8	2012-12-09 23:14:26 +0000	[diff] [blame]	19	from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
				20	some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
Hans Wennborg	7c89024	2018-09-10 08:50:31 +0000	[diff] [blame]	21	from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

				35	=================================================
Sean Silva	1eab30d	2013-01-20 03:29:50 +0000	[diff] [blame]	36	.. NOTE
				37	For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
				38	this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
				39	point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
				40	functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
				41	for adding a new subsection.
Dmitri Gribenko	38782b8	2012-12-09 23:14:26 +0000	[diff] [blame]	42
Sean Silva	1eab30d	2013-01-20 03:29:50 +0000	[diff] [blame]	43	.. NOTE
				44	If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
				45	subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
				46	and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).
