@ -203,6 +203,32 @@ There are numerous improvements to the PowerPC target in this release:
* There have been many smaller bug fixes and performance improvements.
Changes to the OCaml bindings
-----------------------------
* The bindings now require OCaml >=4.00.0, ocamlfind,
ctypes >=0.3.0 <0.4 and OUnit 2 if tests are enabled.
* The bindings can now be built using cmake as well as autoconf.
* LLVM 3.5 has, unfortunately, shipped a broken Llvm_executionengine
implementation. In LLVM 3.6, the bindings now fully support MCJIT,
however the interface is reworked from scratch using ctypes
and is not backwards compatible.
* Llvm_linker.Mode was removed following the changes in LLVM.
This breaks the interface of Llvm_linker.
* All combinations of ocamlc/ocamlc -custom/ocamlopt and shared/static
builds of LLVM are now supported.
* Absolute paths are not embedded into the OCaml libraries anymore.
Either OCaml >=4.02.2 must be used, which includes an rpath-like $ORIGIN
mechanism, or META file must be updated for out-of-tree installations;
see r221139.
* As usual, many more functions have been exposed to OCaml.
