   improves the interaction between AMDGPU buffer operations and the LLVM memory
   model, and so the non `.ptr` intrinsics are deprecated.
 
+* SGPR spilling is now performed to virtual VGPRs. This should avoid
+  some assorted register allocation failures.

+* Backend now performs range merging of "amdgpu-waves-per-eu" attribute based on

+* Certain :ref:`atomicrmw <i_atomicrmw>` operations are now optimized by
+  performing a wave reduction if the access is uniform by default.

 * Removed ``llvm.amdgcn.atomic.inc`` and ``llvm.amdgcn.atomic.dec``
   intrinsics. :ref:`atomicrmw <i_atomicrmw>` should be used instead
   with ``uinc_wrap`` and ``udec_wrap``.
