Hi Everyone, Here are my notes on the LLVM 1.7 release, which will go into the final release announcement. As Tanya mentioned, it has been far too long since the last release, and there have been a lot of CVS commits since Novemeber. :) I went through them all and pulled out some of the major improvements, which I've listed below. I'm certain that I have forgotten some things, so

Chris, Here's my review notes: 1. In the Known problems section you identify PR656 as a known problem. However, this bug is resolved and in January you reported that you verified it on Solaris. So, one of two things needs to happen. Either remove this item from the release notes, or re-open the bug and tell me what still breaks. 2. It seems that several items from the original DRAFT email

LLVM 1.8 is available now! Download it here: http://llvm.org/releases/ Release notes here: http://llvm.org/releases/1.8/docs/ReleaseNotes.html This is a great new release with great new features and lots of refinements (better codegen, faster compiles, bugs fixed). One particularly nice feature of this release is that we're back to a regular 3-month release cycle, allowing users to have

Hi All, Here are my notes for the LLVM 1.8 release, please send me feedback :). I'm sure I've forgotten and overlooked something, if so, please let me know! <Note: we're back to 3-month release cycle: yay!> ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- High Level Changes: *. Jim has finished enough support for DWARF debugging information that it is now enabled by default in

Hi Everyone, LLVM 1.6 is out! Get it here: http://llvm.org/releases/ or read about it here: http://llvm.org/releases/1.6/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#whatsnew This release is the culmination of a ton of great work by many people in the LLVM community. This release cycle has been much longer than any previous release cycle, and reflects that in its content. However, because we think that 3-4

Hi All, Here's the first draft of the release announcement for LLVM 1.9 that I'm working on. I'm sure I've forgotten and overlooked something, if so, please let me know! ----- 8< ------ 8< ----- <notes> Note: LLVM now correctly builds itself and passes all regression tests on Darwin X86 and Darwin PPC. No one has tried other targets to my knowledge. We hit

The vector LLVA extension will not be merged into the 1.6 release branch? It will make me have to merge twice: one for 1.6 and one for vector LLVA. When do you plan to merge the vector LLVA to the main trunk, please?

The LLVM 1.5 is out! Get it here: http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/releases/ or read about it here: http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/releases/1.5/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#whatsnew This release adds several new major features to the LLVM compiler, allows it to be used in domains where it couldn't before (e.g. for functional languages), supports new targets, generates faster code, and is much easier to port

LLVM 1.9 is available now! Download it here: http://llvm.org/ releases/ or view the release here: http://llvm.org/releases/1.9/docs/ ReleaseNotes.html This is a huge new release with many improvements, new features, better codegen, faster compiles, and many bugs fixed. One telling feature is that LLVM now correctly builds itself and passes all its regression tests when self-hosted: an

Hi All, I'm putting together the announcement for the LLVM 1.6 release. Here is what I have so far. Because so much has been done, it is very likely that I have forgotten something. If you have done something that is not on the list, please send me a private email so I can add it (also, please tell me if I've made a mistake or miscredited something)! My next project is to start

Hi everyone, This Fall has been busy, busy, busy. In addition to the usual LLVM hacking, our developers have been moving all over the country, starting classes, ending internships, getting married, and traveling the world. Despite all of the non-LLVM fun we've been having, we've managed to get some work done, too. :) Here is my traditional distillation of llvm-commits: New High-Level

The LLVM 1.4 Release is now out! Get it here: http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/releases/ or read about it here: http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/releases/1.4/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#whatsnew This release features a huge assortment of improvements in functionality, generated code quality, and compile times. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this release the best one yet. In addition to the changes

Hi Everyone, I'm happy to say that LLVM has made many leaps and bounds since the last update in November. Because we are bumping the major version number with this release, we're letting the release go for twice as long as our planned release schedule (6 months instead of 3). We are currently half way through the LLVM 2.0 development cycle. So far, many important and invasive changes

LLVM 2.0 is done! Download it here: http://llvm.org/releases/ or view the release notes: http://llvm.org/releases/2.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html LLVM 2.0 is a great release in many ways. It includes a wide range of new features, new optimizations, better codegen, and new targets. We were also able to signficantly revise several core aspects of the LLVM IR and design (such as the type system

Hi Everyone, It is getting to be that time again. I've scoured llvm-commits and collected a list of some of the major features we've developed since the last status update (from Feb 21). Please take a look and send me (off list) additions, feedback, corrections, etc. As usual, if I missed something, it's probably because there is such a huge amount of stuff happening,
