[cfe-dev] LLVM 5.0.0 Release

[Hans Wennborg via cfe-dev]

It is my pleasure to announce that LLVM 5 is now available.

Get it here: https://llvm.org/releases/download.html#5.0.0

(Why the big jump from 4.0.1? With the new versioning scheme, the
major version is incremented for each major release:
http://blog.llvm.org/2016/12/llvms-new-versioning-scheme.html)

This release is the result of the community's work over the past six
months, including: C++17 support, co-routines, improved optimizations,
new compiler warnings, many bug fixes, and more.

For details, see the release notes:
