Please fix any regressions as quickly as possible. Now would be a good time to go through the LLVM bug database (<a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">http://llvm.org/bugs/</a>) to see if there are any regressions from 2.9 reported, or easy bugs, which you can fix in a short amount of time.</div><div><br></div><div>Please refrain from starting new features, unless they can be turned off via a flag. Exception can always be made, but now isn't the time to submit that major new X86 rewrite into the tree. That's what 3.1 is for. :-) When in doubt, use your better judgement. When that's in doubt, ask the code owners (<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#owners">http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#owners</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>Share and enjoy!</div><div>-bw</div><div><br></div></body></html>
