-Changes to the ARM Backend
---------------------------
+Changes to the ARM Backends
+---------------------------
- During this release ...
+During this release the AArch64 target has:
+
+* Added support for more sanitizers (MSAN, TSAN) and made them compatible with
+ all VMA kernel configurations (kurrently tested on 39 and 42 bits).
+* Gained initial LLD support in the new ELF back-end
+* Extended the Load/Store optimiser and cleaned up some of the bad decisions
+ made earlier.
+* Expanded LLDB support, including watchpoints, native building, Renderscript,
+ LLDB-server, debugging 32-bit applications.
+* Added support for the ``Exynos M1`` chip.
+
+During this release the ARM target has:
+
+* Gained massive performance improvements on embedded benchmarks due to finally
+ running the stride vectorizer in full form, incrementing the performance
gains
+ that we already had in the previous releases with limited stride
vectorization.
+* Expanded LLDB support, including watchpoints, unwind tables
+* Extended the Load/Store optimiser and cleaned up some of the bad decisions
+ made earlier.
+* Gained some code size improvements, though there's still a long road ahead,
+ especially for older cores.
+* Added some EABI floating point comparison functions to Compiler-RT
+* Added support for Windows+GNU triple, +features in -mcpu/-march options.
