Release notes for 0.40.0

Preliminary, 0.40.0 has not been released yet

New features

This has been possible with the Ninja backend for a long time but now the Visual Studio backend works too.

This method can be used to evaluate the value of an expression. As an example:

cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
two = cc.compute_int('1 + 1') # A very slow way of adding two numbers.

There is now a VS2017 backend as well as a generic VS backend that autodetects the currently active VS version.

Add here as they are merged to master.

All documentation is now on the main web site.

This page should be at this address.
