112+
* The loop vectorizer now performs tail folding by default on RISC-V, which
113+
removes the need for a scalar epilogue loop. To restore the previous behaviour
114+
use `-prefer-predicate-over-epilogue=scalar-epilogue`.

* `llvm-objdump` now has basic support for switching between disassembling code
113116
and data using mapping symbols such as `$x` and `$d`. Switching architectures
114117
using `$x` with an architecture string suffix is not yet supported.
