 =================================================
+* With this release, the minimum Windows version required for running LLVM is
+  Windows 7. Earlier versions, including Windows Vista and XP are no longer
+  supported.
+
+* With this release, the autoconf build system is deprecated. It will be removed
+  in the 3.9 release. Please migrate to using CMake. For more information see:

-* The CellSPU port has been removed.  It can still be found in older versions.
-
-* The IR-level extended linker APIs (for example, to link bitcode files out of
-  archives) have been removed. Any existing clients of these features should
-  move to using a linker with integrated LTO support.
-
-* LLVM and Clang's documentation has been migrated to the `Sphinx

-  easy-to-write reStructuredText. See `llvm/docs/README.txt` for more
-  information.

-* TargetTransformInfo (TTI) is a new interface that can be used by IR-level
-  passes to obtain target-specific information, such as the costs of
-  instructions. Only "Lowering" passes such as LSR and the vectorizer are
-  allowed to use the TTI infrastructure.

+============================================
 
-The R600 backend was added in this release, it supports AMD GPUs
-(HD2XXX - HD7XXX).  This backend is used in AMD's Open Source
