-<p>We have changed the way that the Type Legalizer legalizes vectors. The type
- legalizer now attempts to promote integer elements. This enabled the
- implementation of vector-select. Additionally, we see a performance boost on
- workloads which use vectors of chars and shorts, since they are now promoted
- to 32-bit types, which are better supported by the SIMD instruction set.
- Floating point types are still widened as before.</p>

<p>We have put a significant amount of work into the code generator
infrastructure, which allows us to implement more aggressive algorithms and
make it run faster:</p>
