Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release

ELF Improvements

• Glob pattern, which you can use in linker scripts or version scripts, now supports ` and `[!...]. Except character classes (e.g. [[:digit:]]), lld's glob pattern should be fully compatible with GNU now. (r375051)

COFF Improvements

MinGW Improvements

• ...

MachO Improvements

• Item 1.

WebAssembly Improvements

• __data_end and __heap_base are no longer exported by default, as it's best to keep them internal when possible. They can be explicitly exported with --export=__data_end and --export=__heap_base, respectively.
