<br>
We're getting close to the 6.0.0 release, but the release notes are<br>
still in a pretty bad state. You can see the notes for rc2 here:<br>
<a href="http://prereleases.llvm.org/6.0.0/#rc2" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://prereleases.llvm.org/6.<wbr>0.0/#rc2</a> (a few things have been added<br>
since).<br>
<br>
When the release happens, a lot of people will look at the notes, so<br>
it's a good opportunity to mention the work that's happened in the<br>
past six months.<br>
<br>
If you know anything that's worth adding, please commit to the release<br>
notes on the branch directly, or send me a patch or even a plain email<br>
with some text and I'll add it.<br>
<br>
(The folks mentioned below are bcc on this email. Apologies if you've<br>
already added notes.)<br>
<br>
<br>
Chandler: The retpoline mitigation is probably one of the more notable<br>
things. Can you please write something? Maybe we can just link to your<br>
very comprehensive commit message.<br>
<br>
Richard: Is there anything we should add to the Clang release notes?<br>
Can you please ensure that the cxx status page is updated?<br>
<br>
Rui and Rafael: Can you take a look at the LLD release notes?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sure, I'll do that.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Tobias: We're surfacing the Polly release notes since the last<br>
release, but right now they're empty. Can you write something?<br>
<br>
Alex: There seems to be good release notes for clang-tidy, but do you<br>
know if there should be notes for the others tools? Who are the right<br>
people to ping about this?<br>
<br>
Ulrich: Want to add something about IBM z14? Or System/Z in general?<br>
<br>
Johannes: Want to write something about clang-diff?<br>
<br>
Pete: Do you want to write something about the ARC backend?<br>
<br>
Gadi: Do you want to write something about your scheduling work?<br>
<br>
Ashutosh: Do you want to write something about your scheduling work?<br>
<br>
Evgeniy: Do you want to add something about the minimal ubsan runtime?<br>
<br>
Sanjay: Do you want to write something about the new fast-math IR flags?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks to Alex's LLVM Weekly for highlighting these.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
