GDB 14 branching & release -- 2023-09-30 update

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi everyone,

Here is a quick update compared to last week. Depending on how gdb/30689
goes, I am hoping we might be able to branch this coming weekend.

Fixed Since the Previous Update:
--------------------------------

  * [TomT]
    Add pretty-printer base class and new methods
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-September/202342.html

Added Since the Last Update:
----------------------------

 * [SimonM] PR gdb/30912
   Regression: make check TESTS="gdb.base/gcore.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver"
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30912

   (not blocking for branching)

Other Ongoing Items:
--------------------

 * [LuisM] PR gdb/30689
   [AArch64] gdb scalable matrix extension (SME1 and SME2) support
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30689

   SME1 v7 series (Sep 18):
   https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-September/202581.html

   SME2 v5 series (Sep 13):
   https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-September/202597.html

Not Blocking, But Keep An Eye On:
---------------------------------

  < none >

Fingers crossed :-).

I think we have reached an agreement. I'll push both series as soon as the pre-requisite
patch goes in.

The patch series is in (nicely done :-)), and so I think we're good
for branching and first pre-release this weekend.

Tom told me he has additional DAP patches he'd like to push for
the official release, but we can still go with branching and
pre-release.

If there is any last-minute blocking issue, please let us know!

Thank you all.
