You can get tarballs here:</div><div><br></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="http://llvm.org/pre-releases/2.8/">http://llvm.org/pre-releases/2.8/</a><div><br></div><div>If you are interested in testing, please download the tarballs and build LLVM, LLVM-GCC, and Clang and run the tests. Please send me the results of your tests. I would suggest compiling LLVM and LLVM-GCC then using that generated LLVM-GCC to recompile LLVM, LLVM-GCC, and Clang. Then run the tests.</div><div><br></div><div>It's important to test this in the mode that will be distributed to our customers: optimizations enabled and assertions disabled. Though other modes of testing are also important.</div><div><br></div><div>File bug reports on any issues you find and add me to the CC list.</div><div><br></div><div><b>We're in the home stretch!</b> Let's make this the best release of LLVM to date! We've all done a massive amount of really great work. This is a chance to push that work to LLVM users (those who don't or can't work with ToT).</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you! Seriously, your help testing this is greatly appreciated! :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Peace and long life!</div><div>-bw</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. Mac OS X Tiger (and below) systems are not supported in this release (the last LLVM release to support Tiger was 2.3). See http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8198 for details.</div><div><br></div></body></html>
