Hello everyone,
The plan is to create the GDB 8.3.1 release very soon, as I think
we are now ready.
As far as I know, there is only one patch series that's pending
confirmation that it's OK to backport:
* [TomDV] Add Rust support to source highlighting
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00225.html
The backport of the second patch needs confirmation that
it's OK (TomT). Please remember that all patches going into
the .1 need to have a corresponding PR, with the PR's target
milestone being set to 8.3.1, so TomDV will need to adjust
his patches accordingly.
If anyone has other changes that are pending for 8.3.1, now is
the time to say so; unless there are more patches, I'm planning
on creating the release on Friday or Saturday.

I've only got one outstanding patch for 8.3, which adds a KFAIL, not a
gdb code change, so not strictly necessary and more of a convenience.
This is "[PATCH, 8.3][gdb/testsuite] Mark watchthreads-reorder.exp FAIL
as KFAIL" @ https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00221.html .
Thanks,
- Tom

Thanks for confirming. I missed that when I sent you a private note
a few minutes ago about it...

If it was just me deciding, I would keep it out. It's only for developers
where it's not really going to make such a difference, since we tend to
validate patches by diffing the results before and after, while at
the same time, it's using a central function of our testsuite. It's
a fairly mechanical change, so the risk is probably relatively low,
but even then, I don't think the gains are worth that risk.

Hi Joel,
I'm fine with going by your guidance and skipping this patch. I don't
want the release to be held up for this.
Thanks,
