LLVM 2.4

[Chris Lattner]

For anyone interested, LLVM 2.4 was just released:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-announce/2008-November/000030.html
http://llvm.org/releases/2.4/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

It has a number of new features, but the most user visible one is that  
it compiles about 30% faster than LLVM 2.3 at "-O0 -g".  This is a  
common mode for the compile/debug/edit turn around cycle and for  
various JIT applications. llvm-gcc was already typically 30% faster  
than GCC at compiling code when optimizations are enabled.

Please see the release notes for more details, and follow up on the  
llvmdev mailing list if you have questions.
