Hopefully it will make llvm sound less bad, and still make John happy. :) llvm-svn: 10439 --- llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html | 20 +++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html b/llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html index 41977ae4a6a1..1b44ac553cbf 100644 --- a/llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html +++ b/llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html @@ -77,18 +77,20 @@ includes a few new features, such as a simple profiler, support for Mac OS/X, better interoperability with external source bases, a new example language front-end, and improvements in a few optimizations.
