the node ``N`` is guaranteed not to be the last in the list, it is safe to
call ``&*++N->getIterator()`` directly.
+* The `Kaleidoscope tutorials <tutorial/index.html>`_ have been updated to use
+ the ORC JIT APIs.
+
+* ORC now has a basic set of C bindings.
+
+* Optional support for linking clang and the LLVM tools with a single libLLVM
+ shared library. To enable this, pass ``-DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON`` to CMake.
+ See `Building LLVM with CMake`_ for more details.
+
+* The optimization to move the prologue and epilogue of functions in colder
+ code path (shrink-wrapping) is now enabled by default.
+
+* A new target-independent gcc-compatible emulated Thread Local Storage mode
+ is added. When ``-femultated-tls`` flag is used, all accesses to TLS
+ variables are converted to calls to ``__emutls_get_address`` in the runtime
+ library.
+
+* MSVC compatible exception handling has been completely overhauled. New
+ instructions have been introduced to facilitate this:
+ `New exception handling instructions <ExceptionHandling.html#new-exception-handling-instructions>`_.
+ While we have done our best to test this feature thoroughly, it would
+ not be completely surprising if there were a few lingering issues that
+ early adopters might bump into.

-Changes to the ARM Backend
---------------------------
+Changes to the ARM Backends
+---------------------------
- During this release ...
+During this release the AArch64 target has:
+
+* Added support for more sanitizers (MSAN, TSAN) and made them compatible with
+ all VMA kernel configurations (currently tested on 39 and 42 bits).
+* Gained initial LLD support in the new ELF back-end
+* Extended the Load/Store optimiser and cleaned up some of the bad decisions
+ made earlier.
+* Expanded LLDB support, including watchpoints, native building, Renderscript,
+ LLDB-server, debugging 32-bit applications.
+* Added support for the ``Exynos M1`` chip.
+
+During this release the ARM target has:
+
+* Gained massive performance improvements on embedded benchmarks due to finally
+ running the stride vectorizer in full form, incrementing the performance gains
+ that we already had in the previous releases with limited stride vectorization.
+* Expanded LLDB support, including watchpoints, unwind tables
+* Extended the Load/Store optimiser and cleaned up some of the bad decisions
+ made earlier.
+* Simplified code generation for global variable addresses in ELF, resulting in
+ a significant (4% in Chromium) reduction in code size.
+* Gained some additional code size improvements, though there's still a long road
+ ahead, especially for older cores.
+* Added some EABI floating point comparison functions to Compiler-RT
+* Added support for Windows+GNU triple, +features in -mcpu/-march options.
Changes to the MIPS Target
* More efficient code for wide integer compares. (E.g. 64-bit compares
on 32-bit targets.)
-* Tail call support for ``thiscall``, ``stdcall`, ``vectorcall``, and
+* Tail call support for ``thiscall``, ``stdcall``, ``vectorcall``, and
``fastcall`` functions.
+Changes to the Hexagon Target
+-----------------------------
+
+In addition to general code size and performance improvements, Hexagon target
+now has basic support for Hexagon V60 architecture and Hexagon Vector
+Extensions (HVX).
