Summary

As we're planning on raising the minimum Windows version to Windows 7 for LLVM 3.8 as per this discussion (there have been no objections I'm aware of so far even after advertising the discussion in LLVM weekly):
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-July/087993.html
I'd like to add a release note to mention this fact. I've put it under the list of changes in this release although it's actually a notification of a future change. I wasn't sure whether to create a new section or not. I guess we'll need a matching Clang release note too so I'll look at that now.

Sounds good. Make sure to commit this to the release_37 branch, not trunk.

LGTM, and yes, we should have this in the Clang release notes section as well.
