-## ARM compiler(version 6) for C and CPP
-
-Cross-compilation is now supported for ARM targets using ARM compiler version 6 - ARMCLANG.
-The required ARMCLANG compiler options for building a shareable library are not included in the
-current Meson implementation for ARMCLANG support, so it can not build shareable libraries.
-This current Meson implementation for ARMCLANG support can not build assembly files with
-arm syntax(we need to use armasm instead of ARMCLANG for the .s files with this syntax)
-and only supports gnu syntax.
-The default extension of the executable output is .axf.
-The environment path should be set properly for the ARM compiler executables.
-The '--target', '-mcpu' options with the appropriate values should be mentioned
-in the cross file as shown in the snippet below.
-
-```
-[properties]
-c_args      = ['--target=arm-arm-none-eabi', '-mcpu=cortex-m0plus']
-cpp_args    = ['--target=arm-arm-none-eabi', '-mcpu=cortex-m0plus']
-
-```
-
-Note:
-- The current changes are tested on Windows only.
-- PIC support is not enabled by default for ARM,
-  if users want to use it, they need to add the required arguments
-  explicitly from cross-file(c_args/c++_args) or some other way.

-## New base build option for LLVM (Apple) bitcode support
-
-When building with clang on macOS, you can now build your static and shared
-binaries with embedded bitcode by enabling the `b_bitcode` [base
-option](Builtin-options.md#Base_options) by passing `-Db_bitcode=true` to
-Meson.
-
-This is better than passing the options manually in the environment since Meson
-will automatically disable conflicting options such as `b_asneeded`, and will
-disable bitcode support on targets that don't support it such as
-`shared_module()`.
-
-Since this requires support in the linker, it is currently only enabled when
-using Apple ld. In the future it can be extended to clang on other platforms
-too.

-## New compiler check: check_header()
-
-The existing compiler check `has_header()` only checks if the header exists,
-either with the `__has_include` C++11 builtin, or by running the pre-processor.
-
-However, sometimes the header you are looking for is unusable on some platforms
-or with some compilers in a way that is only detectable at compile-time. For
-such cases, you should use `check_header()` which will include the header and
-run a full compile.
-
-Note that `has_header()` is much faster than `check_header()`, so it should be
-used whenever possible.

-## New action 'copy' for configure_file()
-
-In addition to `configuration:` and `command:`,
-[`configure_file()`](#Reference-manual.md#configure_file) now accepts a keyword
-argument `copy:` which specifies a new action: copying the file specified with
-the `input:` keyword argument to a file in the build directory with the name
-specified with the `output:` keyword argument.
-
-These three keyword arguments are, as before, mutually exclusive. You can only
-do one action at a time.

-## New encoding keyword for configure_file
-
-Add a new keyword to [`configure_file()`](#Reference-manual.md#configure_file)
-that allows the developer to specify the input and output file encoding.
-
-If the file encoding of the input is not UTF-8 meson can crash (see #1542).
-A crash as with UTF-16 is the best case and the worst meson will silently
-corrupt the output file for example with ISO-2022-JP. For additional details
-see pull request #3135.
-
-The new keyword defaults to UTF-8 and the documentation strongly suggest to
-convert the file to UTF-8 when possible.

-## Deprecate `build_always`
-
-Setting `build_always` to `true` for a custom target not only marks the target
-to be always considered out of date, but also adds it to the set of default
-targets. This option is therefore deprecated and the new option
-`build_always_stale` is introduced.
-
-`build_always_stale` *only* marks the target to be always considered out of
-date, but does not add it to the set of default targets. The old behaviour can
-be achieved by combining `build_always_stale` with `build_by_default`.
-
-The documentation has been updated accordingly.

-## New built-in object dictionary

-Example usage:

-## New built-in option install_umask with a default value 022

-This umask is used to define the default permissions of files and directories
-created in the install tree. Files will preserve their executable mode, but the
-exact permissions will obey the install_umask.
-
-The install_umask can be overridden in the meson command-line:
-
-    $ meson --install-umask=027 builddir/
-
-A project can also override the default in the project() call:
-
-    project('myproject', 'c',
-      default_options : ['install_umask=027'])
-
-To disable the install_umask, set it to 'preserve', in which case permissions
-are copied from the files in their origin.
