Re: [wwwdocs] add news items for TM work



+ The project was partially funded by
+ the<a href="http://www.velox-project.eu/";>Velox</a>  project.  This
+ feature is experimental and is available for C and C++ on selected
+ platforms.

Reading this I was wondering which platforms. On the other page it says x86 and alpha; should we just use this here, or were you thinking to keep this more marketing speak? ;-)

*blush*, yes... marketing speak. Seeing that people are contributing other ports (or planning on), I didn't want to be too restrictive in the news file. I can specify x86 and Alpha if you'd prefer, to keep it in sync with gcc-4.7/changes.html.



Index: gcc-4.7/changes.html
===================================================================
+<li>Experimental support for transactional memory has been added.
+       It includes support for the compiler, as well as a supporting
+       runtime library called<code>libitm</code>.  To compile code
+       with transactional memory constructs, use
+       the<code>-fgnu-tm</code>  option.

Put this under<p>...</p> as well, I think.

done



+ Support is currently available for the x86 and Alpha platforms.

32-bit, 64-bit x86, or both?

both. I have updated the patch.

+ 	This work was contributed by Red Hat and was partly funded by

In the release notes we generally don't have those acknowledgements, only in the News section.
