I am happy to announce the immediate availability of llvmlite version v0.38.0 RC1 for testing!
The release notes are here: Release Notes — llvmlite 0.38.0rc1-dirty documentation
And you can install the release candidate with:
conda install -c numba llvmlite
or
pip install --pre llvmlite
Enjoy, please test the release and report back any issues you may discover, thank you!
This seems to be fine on Ubuntu 18.04 on AArch64 - I have installed it and run the test suite, and all tests pass. I cannot exercise it with Numba due to Numba 0.55.0 RC1 - #2 by gmarkall but llvmlite is not affected by the same issue.

Task
## llvmlite 0.38.0 RC1
* [x] Merge to `master` (when approved):

* [x] merge change log changes (https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/pull/796)
* [x] Create 0.38 release branch
* [x] Annotated tag v0.38.0rc1 on branch
* [x] build conda packages on buildfarm (remember to check the "upload" box)
* [x] move conda packages from `numba/label/dev` to `numba/label/main`
* [x] verify conda packages moved to `numba/label/main`
* [x] Build wheels (`$PYTHON_VERSIONS`) on the buildfarm.
* [x] Upload wheels and sdist to PyPI (upload from `ci_artifacts` and cleanout when arrived).
* [x] Verify/(Activate?) ReadTheDocs build.
Post RC:
* [x] Announce RC via Discourse and Twitter
* [x] Tag v0.39.0dev0 on `master` to start new cycle (after first merge-commit post `release` branch, ideally a small PR to open the changelog for the next dev cycle).
The next question is: do we do an RC2 or go straight to FINAL. AFAICT there are no release-critical bugs reported so we could go straight to FINAL.
