 Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
 =================================================
+* 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:
+  `Building LLVM with CMake <CMake.html>`_
+
+* The C API function LLVMLinkModules is deprecated. It will be removed in the
+  3.9 release. Please migrate to LLVMLinkModules2. Unlike the old function the
+  new one
+
+   * Doesn't take an unused parameter.
+   * Destroys the source instead of only damaging it.
+   * Does not record a message. Use the diagnostic handler instead.
+
+* The deprecated C APIs LLVMGetBitcodeModuleProviderInContext and
+  LLVMGetBitcodeModuleProvider have been removed.

-* 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
-  <http://sphinx-doc.org/>`_ documentation generation system which uses
-  easy-to-write reStructuredText. See `llvm/docs/README.txt` for more

- Loop Vectorizer
- ---------------
- We've continued the work on the loop vectorizer. The loop vectorizer now has the following features:
-  # Loops with unknown trip count.
-  # Runtime checks of pointers
-  # Reductions, Inductions
-  # If Conversion
-  # Pointer induction variables
-  # Reverse iterators
-  # Vectorization of mixed types
-  # Vectorization of function calls
-  # Partial unrolling during vectorization
-
-  We've also improved the X86 and ARM cost model.
