+Windows Support
+---------------
+
+Clang's support for building native Windows programs, compatible with Visual
+C++, has improved significantly since the previous release. This includes
+correctly passing non-trivial objects by value, record layout, RTTI, name
+mangling, DLL attributes, and many many bug fixes. See
+`MSVC Compatibility <MSVCCompatibility.html>` for details.

+that Clang can self-host on Windows, and projects such as Chromium and Firefox
+have been built successfully using the
+`/fallback <UsersManual.html#the-fallback-option>` option.
