<br>
It's time for the release notes nagging email.<br>
<br>
We have release notes for LLVM, Clang, clang-tools-extra, lld, and<br>
Polly. (If there are more, please let me know.)<br>
<br>
Most of these are pretty empty files; see e.g. the LLVM one at [1].<br>
The internet does read these notes when we release, so please help<br>
make them informative!<br>
<br>
If you made any interesting changes during the past six months, or<br>
know someone who did, please write something for the release notes.<br>
You can commit them directly to the branch, or send a patch to me and<br>
I'll happily commit them for you.<br>
<br>
If you feel responsible for a particular target, e.g. X86, ARM, MIPS,<br>
etc., please help give those release notes some love.<br>
<br>
<br>
Here are some examples we might want to mention (thanks LLVM Weekly!).<br>
If you're cc'd on this email, you're mentioned below.<br>
<br>
- Dmitry, Renato: the Clang notes mention abi_tag. Do we want to<br>
expand the text here a little? Link to the PR?<br>
<br>
- Teresa, Mehdi: there's a "Introduction of ThinLTO [..] ping<br>
Mehdi/Teresa before the release if not done" note, so here's the ping<br>
:-) We should link to the blog post as well.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Will do so later today. </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
- Chris Bieneman, there's a "note about autoconf build having been<br>
removed". Do you want to expand this? :-)<br>
<br>
- Danny, George: do you want to add something about MemorySSA?<br>
<br>
- Nico, do you want to mention clang-cl's precompiled header support?<br>
<br>
- James, do you want to mention the removal of the CppBackend?<br>
<br>
- Chris Dewhurst, do you want to mention soft-float SPARC support (and<br>
potentially other SPARC improvements)?<br>
<br>
- Benjamin, should we mention include-fixer somewhere?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
Hans<br>
