17 This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
18 release 3.8. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
19 from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
20 some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
21 from the `LLVM releases web site <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

31 one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the `releases

34 Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
35 =================================================
38 For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
39 this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
40 point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
41 functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
42 for adding a new subsection.
47 If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
48 subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
49 and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).
