A note on binaries

Volunteers make binaries for the LLVM project which will be uploaded when they have had time to test and build these binaries. They might not be available directly or not at all for each release. We suggest you use the binaries from your distribution or build your own if you rely on a specific platform or configuration.

Next release

We are at the moment not planning any more releases in the 17.x series. If you find bugs that are critical (security, crashes, miscompiles) that can’t wait for 18.x, please reach out to me or @tstellar via Discord or Github and we will evaluate a possible new version.

Thanks to everyone that have been working with me during the 17.x release to file issues, write, test and review fixes. It’s been a pleasure shepherding this release.

18.x release starts in January and it will be handled by @tstellar.
