    * Destroys the source instead of only damaging it.
    * Does not record a message. Use the diagnostic handler instead.
 
+* The C API functions LLVMParseBitcode, LLVMParseBitcodeInContext,
+  LLVMGetBitcodeModuleInContext and LLVMGetBitcodeModule have been deprecated.
+  They will be removed in 3.9. Please migrate to the versions with a 2 suffix.
+  Unlike the old ones the new ones do not record a diagnostic message. Use
+  the diagnostic handler instead.
+
 * The deprecated C APIs LLVMGetBitcodeModuleProviderInContext and
   LLVMGetBitcodeModuleProvider have been removed.
 
+* The deprecated C APIs LLVMCreateExecutionEngine, LLVMCreateInterpreter,
+  LLVMCreateJITCompiler, LLVMAddModuleProvider and LLVMRemoveModuleProvider
+  have been removed.
+
 * With this release, the C API headers have been reorganized to improve build
   time. Type specific declarations have been moved to Type.h, and error
   handling routines have been moved to ErrorHandling.h. Both are included in
   Core.h so nothing should change for projects directly including the headers,
   but transitive dependencies may be affected.
 
+* llvm-ar now suports thin archives.
+
+* llvm doesn't produce .data.rel.ro.local or .data.rel sections anymore.
+
+* aliases to available_externally globals are now rejected by the verifier.
+
+* the IR Linker has been split into IRMover that moves bits from one module to
+  another and Linker proper that decides what to link.
+
+* Support for dematerializing has been dropped.
