 * The minimum required Visual Studio version for building LLVM is now 2013
   Update 4.
 
+* 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.

+* 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.
