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