Will we pack release notes to the bundle or put it to the downloads page

If we put it to the bundle we will have to make some integrity testing
after that
For the what's new section I suggest
- Overall stability was improved, e.g. majority of the known crash
bugs were fixed
- GCv5 is now default GC (XiaoFeng might provide wording)
- ByteCode verifier is now functionally complete
- StackOverflow handling in VM is implemented
- Threading subsystem was partially redesigned to improve its stability
- Memory consumption was significantly improved (VM/JIT parts
redesign, memory leaks were fixed in threading)
- JIT optimizations implemented/improved: Array Bound Check
Elimination, Profile-guided devirtualization of abstract and virtual
calls, Graph-coloring register allocator for Jitrino.OPT
- API completeness came to 99.06% (without endorsed specs), incomplete
API is in swing mostly
Mikhail gave almost complete list about JIT, I'd like just to add more
details here:
*New Features:
*- Value profile guided devirtualization of abstract and virtual calls has
been implemented for Jitrino.OPT optimizing compiler. Devirtualization of
abstract calls was enabled by default is server optimization mode.
- Graph-coloring register allocator has been implemented for
Jitrino.OPToptimizing compiler.
- DRLVM is now able to run on non-SSE2 platforms (Nathan to confirm).
*Resolved Issues
*
- Stack Overflow handling in VM has been significantly improved
(HARMONY-1859, HARMONY-4118).
- Array Bounds Check Elimination optimization has been reworked which
resolved known JIRA issues reporting incorrect bound checks (HARMONY-1564,
HARMONY-1788, HARMONY-2141, HARMONY-2144, HARMONY-2147).
- Memory consumption was significantly improved (VM/JIT parts redesign,
memory leaks were fixed in threading).
