LLVM 2.6 Release

[Chris Lattner]

FYI, the LLVM project just pushed out its 2.6 release:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-announce/2009-October/000033.html

There is a lot of goodness in this release, which spanned 6 months  
instead of the usual 3.  Of particular interest to the GCC community  
may be the 'DragonEgg' GCC plugin (http://dragonegg.llvm.org/), much  
better X86-64 code generation, and LTO support through the gold  
linker.  There is a high level description of some of the other  
features in the release announcement and more technical detail in the  
release notes: http://llvm.org/releases/2.6/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

Cheers,

-Chris
