+
+➕ Upgrade bytecode compiler project to LLVM 16.
+ - The bytecode compiler project now builds multiple shared object files,
+ instead of just one with all of the passes. This is due to running with
+ the "new" pass manager, instead of running with the legacy pass manager,
+ as before.
+ - The bytecode compiler currently uses (deprecated) non-opaque pointers.
+ Updating to all opaque pointers will be required for the next release.
+ See https://llvm.org/docs/OpaquePointers.html for more information.
+
+🌌 New Requirements:
+ - LLVM 16
+ - Clang 16

 ## `0.105.0`
 
 ➕ Complete overhaul of the bytecode compiler project.
