LLVM 3.3 Release Notes
======================
.. contents::
:local:
.. warning::
These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM 3.3 release. You may
prefer the `LLVM 3.2 Release Notes <http://llvm.org/releases/3.2/docs
/ReleaseNotes.html>`_.
Introduction
============
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
release 3.3. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
from the `LLVM releases web site <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
For more information about LLVM, including information about the latest
release, please check out the `main LLVM web site <http://llvm.org/>`_. If you
have questions or comments, the `LLVM Developer's Mailing List
<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev>`_ is a good place to send
them.
Note that if you are reading this file from a Subversion checkout or the main
LLVM web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not the current
one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the `releases
page <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
=================================================
.. NOTE
For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
for adding a new subsection.
* The CellSPU port has been removed. It can still be found in older versions.
* The IR-level extended linker APIs (for example, to link bitcode files out of
archives) have been removed. Any existing clients of these features should
move to using a linker with integrated LTO support.
* LLVM and Clang's documentation has been migrated to the `Sphinx
<http://sphinx-doc.org/>`_ documentation generation system which uses
easy-to-write reStructuredText. See `llvm/docs/README.txt` for more
information.
* ... next change ...
.. NOTE
If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).
Special New Feature
-------------------
Makes programs 10x faster by doing Special New Thing.
Additional Information
======================
A wide variety of additional information is available on the `LLVM web page
<http://llvm.org/>`_, in particular in the `documentation
<http://llvm.org/docs/>`_ section. The web page also contains versions of the
API documentation which is up-to-date with the Subversion version of the source
code. You can access versions of these documents specific to this release by
going into the ``llvm/docs/`` directory in the LLVM tree.
If you have any questions or comments about LLVM, please feel free to contact
us via the `mailing lists <http://llvm.org/docs/#maillist>`_.
