-Changes to the ARM Backend
+Changes to the ARM Targets
--------------------------
- During this release ...
+ During this release the AArch64 backend has:
+
+* Gained support for Qualcomm's Kryo and Broadcom's Vulcan CPUs, including
+ scheduling models
+* Landed a scheduling model for Samsung's Exynos M1
+* Seen a lot of work on GlobalISel
+* Learned a few more useful combines (fadd and fmul into fmadd, adjustments to
the
+ stack pointer for callee-save stack memory and local stack memory etc)
+* Gained support for the Swift calling convention
+* Switched to using SubtargetFeatures rather than testing for specific CPUs and
+ to using TableGen for handling system instruction operands
+* Gained a big batch of tests from Halide
+
+ Furthermore, LLDB now supports AArch64 compact unwind tables, as used on iOS,
+ tvos and watchos.
