-* Support for exception handling has been removed from the old JIT. Use MCJIT
-  if you need EH support.
+* The minimum required Visual Studio version for building LLVM is now 2013
+  Update 4.
 
-* The R600 backend is not marked experimental anymore and is built by default.
+* A new documentation page, :doc:`Frontend/PerformanceTips`, contains a
+  collection of tips for frontend authors on how to generate IR which LLVM is
+  able to effectively optimize.
 
-* APFloat::isNormal() was renamed to APFloat::isFiniteNonZero() and
-  APFloat::isIEEENormal() was renamed to APFloat::isNormal(). This ensures that
-  APFloat::isNormal() conforms to IEEE-754R-2008.
-
-* The library call simplification pass has been removed.  Its functionality
-  has been integrated into the instruction combiner and function attribute
-  marking passes.
-
-* Support for building using Visual Studio 2008 has been dropped. Use VS 2010
-  or later instead. For more information, see the `Getting Started using Visual
-  Studio <GettingStartedVS.html>` page).
+* The DataLayout is no longer optional. All the IR level optimizations expects
+  it to be present and the API has been changed to use a reference instead of
+  a pointer to make it explicit. The Module owns the datalayout and it has to
+  match the one attached to the TargetMachine for generating code.
