+and share the same distribution license.  This section provides updates on
+these sub-projects.

+------------------------
+
+`LLDB <http://lldb.llvm.org/>`_ is a ground-up implementation of a command-line

+
+Linux Features:
+
+- Support for watchpoints
+- vim integration for lldb commands and program status using a `vim plug-in <http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk/utils/vim-lldb/README>`_
+- Improved register support including vector registers
+- Builds with cmake/ninja/auto-tools/clang 3.3/gcc 4.6
+
+Linux Improvements:
