GCC 4.0.3 has been a long time coming. (I postponed it in order to focus on GCC 4.1.0, but, in retrospect, that was a mistake.)
In any case, given that we've waited this long, I plan to make the GCC 4.0.3 immediately after GCC 4.1.0. Most people are focusing more on 4.1 and mainline than one 4.0. Waiting for 4.1.0 will allow us to apply fixes for 4.1 that also apply to 4.0 to the 4.0 branch. There are currently 10 P1s for 4.0.3, 3 of which also apply to 4.1. However, with the exception of any regressions from previous 4.0 releases, I'm not planning to hold up 4.0.3 for any of these; the core purpose for 4.0.3 is to collect bug fixes that will help current users of 4.0.2, and there have been lots. (It's interesting to note that there are 95 serious regressions against 4.0.3 and only 63 against 4.1.0; although 4.0.3 has surely had more usage, this does suggest that 4.1.0 is in reasonably good shape. After 4.0.3 has been released, I do not plan to make any more releases from the 4.0 branch, although (as with previous branches) another RM may step in to do that. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
