jhenderson added a comment.

Some grammar suggestions from me. As with @smeenai, I've not been following development closely enough to confirm that these are all the changes that should be documented though.

+  (`D101996 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D101996>`_)

+* ``.`` in the output section description of ``.tbss`` is now correct.
+  (`D107288 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D107288>`_)
----------------
I think this is what is meant?

Also should this and the other linker-script related changes have a note saying they are for linker scripts (e.g. in this case "in the linker script output section description ...")?


================
Comment at: lld/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst:81
+  (`D107234 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D107234>`_)
