 LoongArch Support
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- The ``model`` attribute is now supported for overriding the default code
-  model used to access global variables. The following values are supported:
+- Added builtins support for all LSX (128-bits SIMD) and LASX (256-bits SIMD)
+  instructions.
+- Added builtins support for approximate calculation instructions that were
+  introduced in LoongArch Reference Manual V1.10.
+- Made ``-mcmodel=`` compatible with LoongArch gcc that accepted ``normal``,
+  ``medium`` and ``extreme``.

-* The code model of global variables can now be overridden by means of
-  the newly added LLVM IR attribute, ``code_model``.

+* Added definition and intrinsics support for new instructions that were

+* Emitted adjacent ``pcaddu18i+jirl`` instrunction sequence with one relocation
+  ``R_LARCH_CALL36`` instead of ``pcalau12i+jirl`` with two relocations
+  ``R_LARCH_PCALA_{HI20,LO12}`` for function call in medium code model.
+* The code model of global variables can now be overridden by means of the newly
+  added LLVM IR attribute, ``code_model``.
+* Added support for the ``llvm.is.fpclass`` intrinsic.
+* ``mulodi4`` and ``muloti4`` libcalls were disabled due to absence in libgcc.
+* Added initial support for auto vectorization.
+* Added initial support for linker relaxation.
+* Assorted codegen improvements.
