[LLVMdev] LLVM 3.0 release notes

[Joe Abbey]

Internal API changes mentioned the Type system changes twice... merging.  It should now read:

The biggest and most pervasive change is that the type system has been rewritten: PATypeHolder and OpaqueType are gone, and all APIs deal with Type* instead of const Type*. If you need to create recursive structures, then create a named structure, and use setBody() when all its elements are built. Type merging and refining is gone too: named structures are not merged with other structures, even if their layout is identical. (of course anonymous structures are still uniqued by layout).

Ok to commit?
