+Misc:
+
+- Improved address space support with Clang builtins.

+  values used in attributes; duplicate address spaces.
+
+- Allow blocks to capture arrays.
+
+- Allow zero assignment and comparisons between variables of ``queue_t`` type.
+
+- Improved diagnostics of formatting specifiers and argument promotions for

+
+
+C++ for OpenCL:
+
+- Added support of address space conversions in C style casts.
+
+- Enabled address spaces for references.
+
+- Fixed use of address spaces in templates: address space deduction and diagnostics.
+
