Great! Looking forward to seeing in particular a higher level of compability with GCC, and also whether or not this release has closed part of the gap against GCC/ICC in generated code performance. Not having to patch GCC in order to try out DragonEgg as backend is a great improvement aswell, sounds like a solid release.

I do wonder about how much of a positive impact the ARM improvements will have on Apples iOS products.

CLang in general though is a excellent compiler to develop C/C++ code on. Execellent diagnostics and all.
