Sven, do you consider yourself fluent in English? Where exactly did my question imply that I want to know what doesn't break with what was the current version until very recently?
Don't you think you could have answered by pointing out the relevant new features and fixes? Not every KDevelop user or even contributor is following (lib)clang development with a magnifying glass and the changelogs on llvm.org aren't exactly helpful.
