--------------------------

During this release ...
* Improved support of GlobalISel instruction selection framework.

* Implemented emission of ``R_MIPS_JALR`` and ``R_MICROMIPS_JALR``

of jumps to protected symbols.

* ORC JIT has been supported for MIPS and MIPS64 architectures.

* Assembler now suggests alternative MIPS instruction mnemonics when
an invalid one is specified.

* Improved support for MIPS N32 ABI.

* Added new instructions (``pll.ps``, ``plu.ps``, ``cvt.s.pu``,
``cvt.s.pl``, ``cvt.ps``, ``sigrie``).

* Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
