-  <li>LLVM's configure script doesn't depend on llvm-gcc anymore, clean layering.</p>
-  LLVM 3.0 removes support for reading LLVM 2.8 and earlier files.  Aim to maintain compatibility all the way back to 3.0 "forever".
-  Frontend tests removed from llvm/test/Frontend* 
-  Tablegen has been split into a library, clang tblgen pieces now live in clang.
-  The llvm version is now named llvm-tblgen instead of tblgen.
-    PostOrder Dominator frontiers were removed.
-    LowerSetJmp pass removed, unused.
+<li>LLVM 3.0 removes support for reading LLVM 2.8 and earlier files, and LLVM

   <li>The old <code>TailDup</code> pass was not used in the standard pipeline
       and was unable to update ssa form, so it has been removed.
   <li>The syntax of volatile loads and stores in IR has been changed to
       "<code>load volatile</code>"/"<code>store volatile</code>".  The old
       syntax ("<code>volatile load</code>"/"<code>volatile store</code>")

   <li>The old atomic intrinsics (<code>llvm.memory.barrier</code> and
       <code>llvm.atomic.*</code>) are now gone.  Please use the new atomic
       instructions, described in the <a href="Atomics.html">atomics guide</a>.
