Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
=================================================
ELF Improvements
----------------
* ``-z nosectionheader`` has been implemented to omit the section header table.
The operation is similar to ``llvm-objcopy --strip-sections``.
(`#101286 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/101286>`_)
* Section ``CLASS`` linker script syntax binds input sections to named classes,
which are referenced later one or more times. This provides access to the
automatic spilling mechanism of `--enable-non-contiguous-regions` without
globally changing the semantics of section matching. It also independently
increases the expressive power of linker scripts.
(`#95323 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/95323>`_)
Breaking changes
----------------
COFF Improvements
-----------------
* ``/includeglob`` has been implemented to match the behavior of ``--undefined-glob`` available for ELF.
MinGW Improvements
------------------
* ``--undefined-glob`` is now supported by translating into the ``/includeglob`` flag.
MachO Improvements
------------------
WebAssembly Improvements
