+Changes to the Hexagon Target
+-----------------------------
+
+* Hexagon now supports auto-vectorization for HVX. It is disabled by default
+ and can be turned on with ``-fvectorize``. For auto-vectorization to take
+ effect, code genration for HVX needs to be enabled with ``-mhvx``.
+ The complete set of options should include ``-fvectorize``, ``-mhvx``,
+ and ``-mhvx-length={64b|128b}``.
+
+* The support for Hexagon ISA V4 is deprecated and will be removed in the
+ next release.
