+<li>LLVM's global uniquing tables for <tt>Type</tt>s and <tt>Constant</tt>s have
+ been privatized into members of an <tt>LLVMContext</tt>. A number of APIs
+ now take an <tt>LLVMContext</tt> as a parameter. To smooth the transition
+ for clients that will only ever use a single context, the new
+ <tt>getGlobalContext()</tt> API can be used to access a default global
+ context which can be passed in any and all cases where a context is
+ required.
