Introduction
============

This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
release {{env.config.release}}.  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 [Discourse forums](https://discourse.llvm.org)
is a good place to ask 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/).
