+  minus exception support.
 
-- Support for Visual C++ '__super' keyword
+- Added more MSVC compatibility hacks, such as allowing more lookup into
+  dependent bases of class templates when there is a known template pattern.
+  As a result, applications using Active Template Library (ATL) or Windows
+  Runtime Library (WRL) headers should compile correctly.
