2 LLVM 14.0.0 Release Notes
3 =========================
9 These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM 14 release.
10 Release notes for previous releases can be found on
11 `the Download Page <https://releases.llvm.org/download.html>`_.
17 This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
18 release 14.0.0. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
19 from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
20 some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
21 from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
23 For more information about LLVM, including information about the latest
24 release, please check out the `main LLVM web site <https://llvm.org/>`_. If you
25 have questions or comments, the `LLVM Developer's Mailing List
26 <https://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev>`_ is a good place to send
29 Note that if you are reading this file from a Git checkout or the main
30 LLVM web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not the current
31 one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the `releases
32 page <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
34 Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
35 =================================================
37 For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
38 this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
39 point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
40 functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
41 for adding a new subsection.
45 If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
46 subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
47 and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).
