Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
=================================================
-
-* All backends have been changed to use the MC asm printer and support for the
- non MC one has been removed.
-
-* The ARM back-end now has the EHABI exception handling enabled by default. Use
- `-arm-disable-ehabi` to turn it off (both landing pads and unwind tables).
-
-* Clang can now successfully self-host itself on Linux/Sparc64 and on
- FreeBSD/Sparc64.
-
-* LLVM now assumes the assembler supports ``.loc`` for generating debug line
- numbers. The old support for printing the debug line info directly was only
- used by ``llc`` and has been removed.
-
-* All inline assembly is parsed by the integrated assembler when it is enabled.
- Previously this was only the case for object-file output. It is now the case
- for assembly output as well. The integrated assembler can be disabled with
- the ``-no-integrated-as`` option,
-
-* llvm-ar now handles IR files like regular object files. In particular, a
- regular symbol table is created for symbols defined in IR files.
+* 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.

a lot of other language and tools projects. This section lists some of the
