## Major New Features
-* Flang now supports loading LLVM pass plugins with the `-fpass-plugin` option
- which is also available in clang. The option mimics the behavior of the
- corresponding option in clang and has the same capabilities and limitations.
-* Flang also supports statically linked LLVM pass extensions. Projects can be
- linked statically into `flang-new` if the cmake command includes
- `-DLLVM_${NAME}_LINK_INTO_TOOLS=ON`. This behavior is also similar to clang.

## Bug Fixes
## Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
-* The bash wrapper script, `flang`, is renamed as `flang-to-external-fc`.
-* In contrast to Clang, Flang will not default to using `-fpie` when linking
- executables. This is only a temporary solution and the goal is to align with
- Clang in the near future. First, however, the frontend driver needs to be
- extended so that it can generate position independent code (that requires
- adding support for e.g. `-fpic` and `-mrelocation-model` in `flang-new
- -fc1`). Once that is available, support for the `-fpie` can officially be
- added and the default behaviour updated.
## New Compiler Flags
-* Refined how `-f{no-}color-diagnostics` is treated to better align with Clang.
- In particular, both `-fcolor-diagnostics` and `-fno-color-diagnostics` are
- now available in `flang-new` (the diagnostics are formatted by default). In
- the frontend driver, `flang-new -fc1`, only `-fcolor-diagnostics` is
- available (by default, the diagnostics are not formatted).
