Looking at the NEWS files, we have a reasonable list of new features to warrant a new release. The initial plan, published at https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/schedule/, called for a branch on Jun 15th, so 2 weeks from now. In internet time, this is quite a short time-frame, but perhaps we'll be able to make it? Does anyone have projects that are nearly finished and would be important to include in 8.2 rather than wait for 8.3? If yes, what kind of time frame can we expect for getting those in. Should we wait for the patch to be in master before we cut the branch, or can the changes be backported afterwards? All the information we can collect here will help us determine how likely it is for us to branch on June 15th. Besides the above, I have created a wiki page for that release branch: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_8.2_Release. I'll review the PRs marked for 8.2, to make sure they are all legitimate blockers for 8.2. Thank you, -- Joel
