[cfe-dev] LLVM 3.8 Release

[Hans Wennborg via cfe-dev]

It is my pleasure to announce that LLVM 3.8.0 is now available!

Get it here: http://www.llvm.org/releases/download.html#3.8.0

This release contains the work of the LLVM community over the past six
months: deprecated autoconf build, shrink-wrapping on by default,
overhauled MSVC-compatible exception handling, updated Kaleidoscope
tutorial, emutls, OpenMP supported by default, as well as improved
optimizations, many bug fixes, and more.

Release notes for more details:

Huge thanks to everyone who helped with testing, bug fixing,
packaging, and getting the release into a good state!

Special thanks to the volunteer release builders and testers, without
whom there would be no releases: Dimitry Andric, Brian Cain, Ismail
Donmez, Renato Golin, Sylvestre Ledru, Elias Pipping, Ben Pope, Daniel
Sanders, and Nikola Smiljanic!

If you have any questions or comments about the release, please
contact the community on the mailing lists. Onward to 3.9!

 - Hans
