This is a patch release that fixes critical issues, regressions,
documentation, and compiler support. For compiler support, this
release adds support for Visual Studio 2015 and addresses CMake
configuration on some newer Linux distributions with separate
packaging of the gold linker. There are also a number of other various
fixes, described in the log below. Thanks to all the contributors.

The next feature release, 4.9.0, is scheduled for December, and it
