+    <body>
+      <p>Just before the end of the year, we have updated clang,
+	llvm and lldb in base to 3.5.0 release.  These all contain
+	numerous improvements; please see the linked release notes for
+	more detailed information.</p>
+
+      <p>This is the first release that requires C++11 support to build.
+	At this point, FreeBSD 10.0 and later provide that support, at least
+	on x86.</p>
+
+      <p>In the near future, more components from the llvm.org will
+	be updated in base, with libc++ and libcompiler-rt most likely
+	being the first.</p>
+
+      <p>Thanks to Ed Maste, Roman Divacky, Andrew Turner, Justin
+	Hibbits and Antoine Brodin for their invaluable help with this
+	import.</p>

+      <task>
+	<p> While most ports that were impacted by this update have
+	  already been fixed, there are still a few that do not work with
+	  the clang 3.5.0 update.</p>
+
+	<p>In most cases, this is due to relatively simple issues,
+	  such as new warnings, or slightly stricter error checking
+	  (primarily for C++ programs).  Fixing those issues should not take
+	  too much work.</p>
+      </task>
+
+      <task>
+	<p>There are still some open issues with the ARM, PowerPC
+	  and Sparc64 architectures, and any help in this area is very much
+	  appreciated.</p>
