+ For information on added APIs, see commit messages for Changes
+ <a href="https://android-review.googlesource.com/68012">68012</a> and
+ <a href="https://android-review.googlesource.com/68014">68014</a>.

+ information and current restrictions on Clang, see
+ {@code tests/device/hard-float/jni/Android.mk}.</li>
+ <li>Migrated from GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.8 to 4.8.2, and added diagnostic color
+ support. To enable diagnostic colors, set <code>-fdiagnostics-color=auto</code>,
+ <code>-fdiagnostics-color=always,</code> or export {@code GCC_COLORS} as shown below:
+<pre>
+GCC_COLORS='error=01;31:warning=01;35:note=01;36:caret=01;32:locus=01:quote=01'
+</pre>
+ For more information, see
+ <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Language-Independent-Options.html">GCC
+ Language Independent Options</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>Added two new samples to demonstrate OpenGL ES 3.0 features: Teapot and MoreTeapots.

+ <li>Deprecated GCC 4.7 and Clang 3.2 support, which will be removed in the next
+ release.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Important bug fixes:</dt>
+ <dd>
+ <ul>

+ <dd>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Header fixes
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fixed the ARM {@code WCHAR_MIN} and {@code WCHAR_MAX} to be unsigned according to

+ tests for {@code ssax-instructions} and {@code fenv}.</li>
+ <li>Fixed GCC 4.6/4.7/4.8 compiler to pass the linker option {@code --eh-frame-hdr} even
+ for static executables. For more information, see the
+ <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-09/msg00969.html">GCC patch</a>.</li>

+ {@code __atomic_fetch_add}, {@code __atomic_fetch_sub}, and {@code __atomic_fetch_or}.

+ <li>Fixed Clang 3.3 ICE with customized {@code vfprintf}.
+ (<a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=16344">Clang issue</a>)
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Other changes:</dt>
+ <dd>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Enabled OpenMP for all GCC builds. To use this feature, add the following flags to your
+ build settings:
+<pre>
+LOCAL_CFLAGS += -fopenmp
+LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -fopenmp
+</pre>
+ For code examples, see {@code tests/device/test-openmp}</li>
+ <li>Reduced the size of {@code ld.mcld} significantly (1.5MB vs. {@code ld.bfd} 3.5MB and
+ {@code ld.gold} 7.5MB), resulting in a speed improvement of approximately 20%.</li>
+ <li>Added <code>LOCAL_CONLYFLAGS</code> and <code>APP_CONLYFLAGS</code> to specify
+ options applicable to C only but not C++. The existing <code>LOCAL_CFLAGS</code>
+ and <code>APP_CFLAGS</code> are also used for C++ compilation (to save trouble of
+ specifying most options twice), so options such as <code>-std=gnu99</code> may fail in
+ g++ builds with a warning and clang++ builds with an error.</li>
+ <li>Added {@code gabi++} array helper functions.</li>
+ <li>Modified GCC builds so that all {@code libgcc.a} files are built with
+ <code>-funwind-tables</code> to allow the stack to be unwound past previously blocked
+ points, such as <code>__aeabi_idiv0</code>.</li>
+ <li>Added Ingenic MXU support in MIPS GCC4.6/4.7/4.8 with new <code>-mmxu</code> option.</li>
+ <li>Extended MIPS GCC4.6/4.7/4.8 <code>-mldc1-sdc1</code> to control ldxc1/sdxc1 too</li>
+ <li>Added crazy linker. For more information, see
+ {@code sources/android/crazy_linker/README.TXT}.</li>
+ <li>Fixed {@code bitmap-plasma} to draw to full screen rather than a 200x200 pixel area.</li>
+ <li>Reduced linux and darwin toolchain sizes by 25% by creating symlinks to identical files.
