[llvm-dev] [7.0.0 Release] The release branch is open; trunk is now 8.0.0

[Hans Wennborg via llvm-dev]

Hi everyone,

The release branch for 7.0.0 was created off trunk at r338536 earlier
today, and the trunk version was subsequently bumped to 8.0.0.

Release blockers are tracked by https://llvm.org/PR38406 Please mark
any bugs, old or new, that need to be fixed for the release as
blocking that.

To get a change committed to the branch, first commit it to trunk as
usual, and then request it to be merged -- ideally by filing a blocker
bug on https://llvm.org/PR38406, or by cc'ing me on the commit email.
(Please try not to request merges over IRC, as they're easy to miss.)

Please help with the release by notifying me about any bugs, commits,
or other issues you think might be relevant. If it's not marked as
blocking PR38406, or I'm not cc'd on an email about it, I'll probably
miss it.

What's next? In a day or two, once the branch appears reasonable
stable, release candidate 1 will be tagged and testing of that can
begin.

Thanks,
Hans
