similar to: LLVM 1.9 Release!

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

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

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

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

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 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,

LLVM 1.7 is available now! Download it here: http://llvm.org/releases/ Release notes here: http://llvm.org/releases/1.7/docs/ReleaseNotes.html This release is huge! It contains about twice the number of new features as any previous release, and includes some big-ticket items that people have been requesting for a long time. In particular, this release contains a completely rewritten llvm-gcc

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 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

All, Please welcome Zhou Sheng <zhousheng00 at gmail.com> to the LLVM development community. Sheng is from Beijing and is a Masters student at the University there. Sheng and I will be working together on some significant changes to LLVM in the coming months. Our first task is to implement integer types without signs in LLVM. You can read Chris Lattner's notes on this change at this

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?

Hi LLVMers, Sorry for the delay, this status update should have been out a couple weeks ago. Things have been absolutely crazy here. :) May Status Update ----------------- Overall, since the LLVM 1.2 release, we've fixed several LLVM optimizations to produce better code (most have fallen into the "stop doing stupid things" category) and implemented some new optimizations. There

Hey everyone, It's been way too long since the last status update. Since that last edition, we've gone through the 1.0 release, fixed a ton of bugs, and implemented some neat new things. Since many people are using the 1.0 release, I'll break the changes into "before 1.0" and "after 1.0" sections: Before 1.0: ----------- 1. We've cleaned up the source base

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

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

Hi, I finally took the time to track down the remaining memory leaks beside the LeakDetector objects and TypeMaps/ValueMaps I already knew about. It turns out almost all of them came from the command line options module, so I cleaned up the patch for LeakDetector and made a new patch for CommandLine. The patches are attached to this message. That got rid of all but 4 leaks I'm getting,
