21 Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
22 =================================================
27 * New ``--time-trace`` option records a time trace file that can be viewed in
28 chrome://tracing. The file can be specified with ``--time-trace-file``.
29 Trace granularity can be specified with ``--time-trace-granularity``.
30 (`D71060 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D71060>`_)
31 * For ARM architectures the default max page size was increased to 64k.
32 This increases compatibility with systems where a non standard page
33 size was configured. This also is inline with GNU ld defaults.
34 (`D77330 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D77330>`_)
40 * One-dash form of some long option (``--thinlto-*``, ``--lto-*``, ``--shuffle-sections=``)
41 are no longer supported.
42 * ``--export-dynamic-symbol`` no longer implies ``-u``.
47 * Fixed exporting symbols whose names contain a period (``.``), which was
48 a regression in lld 7.
53 * Implemented new options for disabling auto import and runtime pseudo
54 relocations (``--disable-auto-import`` and
55 ``--disable-runtime-pseudo-reloc``), the ``--no-seh`` flag and options
56 for selecting file and section alignment (``--file-alignment`` and
57 ``--section-alignment``).
