+System/Z
+--------
+
+* Clang will now always default to the z10 processor when compiling
+ without any ``-march=`` option. Previous releases used to automatically
+ detect the current host CPU when compiling natively. If you wish to
+ still have clang detect the current host CPU, you now need to use the
+ ``-march=native`` option.
+
+* Clang now provides the ``<s390intrin.h>`` header file.
+
+* Clang now supports the transactional-execution facility and
+ provides associated builtins and the ``<htmintrin.h>`` and
+ ``<htmxlintrin.h>`` header files. Support is enabled by default
+ on zEC12 and above, and can additionally be enabled or disabled
+ via the ``-mhtm`` / ``-mno-htm`` command line options.
+
+* Clang now supports the vector facility. This includes a
+ change in the ABI to pass arguments and return values of
+ vector types in vector registers, as well as a change in
+ the default alignment of vector types. Support is enabled
+ by default on z13 and above, and can additionally be enabled
+ or disabled via the ``-mvx`` / ``-mno-vx`` command line options.
+
+* Clang now supports the System z vector language extension,
+ providing a "vector" keyword to define vector types, and a
+ set of builtins defined in the ``<vecintrin.h>`` header file.
+ This can be enabled via the ``-fzvector`` command line option.
+ For compatibility with GCC, Clang also supports the
+ ``-mzvector`` option as an alias.
+
+* Several cases of ABI incompatibility with GCC have been fixed.
