I’ll try to update the page when I’m back from VN.

8.4
- aarch64/arm linker for mach-o/elf
- staticlib
- iserv over the network
- extended Q monad? (I really think we should try to iron this out for 8.4)
- various iOS/Android/Raspberry Pi/... cross compilation fixes
- llvm5

8.6
- llvmng? I’m afraid this will be ready for 8.4.

Which release will be Hadrian first?
