GCC 3.4.3
=========
There are 114 PRs targeted at 3.4.3.
Quite a number of these are usability nits: error messages that are
not ideal, misbehavior in the driver, etc. Most of these have
work-arounds, but it would be nice if we could get some polish work
done on these issues. Most apply to 4.0 as well. Examples include
PR17537, 17393, 17361, 13993, 15369.
However, I still see nothing standing in the way of a November 1
release of GCC 3.4.3.
GCC 4.0
=======
There are 184 PRs targeted at 4.0, including those targeted at 3.4.3,
of which 32 are wrong-code bugs. I'm concerned about PR15014 (which
involves label differences), PR 15486 (-fdata-sections vs. common),
and PR 16721 (reads of volatile variables disappearing).
I'm glad to see Dan Berlin et. al. maintaining the Wiki page about
things in GCC 3.5. I'm also glad to report that it looks like all of
the major 4.0 projects have now been submitted, as desired. That's
great. As of now, if it hasn't been submitted already, we're waiting
for 4.1.
Exactly when we'll create a release branch will depend on getting
these projects merged in, the Objective-C++ changes finished, and
getting some of the more important defects fixed. I'd hope for some
time in October.
We do have some patches outstanding for review, and I hope that the
appropriate people will review some of those soon.
In the meantime, let's keep fixing those PRs!

So Stage 3 is expected to be rather shorter than normal?

No, I'm afraid I said October when I meant November. Then again, I
wouldn't hold up making a release branch if it really looked like we had
all our ducks in a row.

Are we going to have some target for branching? Like less than 100 regressions?
I think it worked pretty well for 3.4 which is now very stable. On the
contrary, 3.3 was branched way too early IMO, and I know Gaby agrees here.
If we are going to have a limit, it is better to know earlier than later, so
people can do their planning. There are ~195 regressions right now.

First, I want to make a pass over the current list and prune things;
there's some stuff in there that doesn't look terribly critical.

I really appreciate the feedback, whether positive or negative. If
people think having a well-defined target for making the release branch
is effective, that's a major argument in favor of doing that. I'll
think it over, and welcome any other comments!

I agree too!
