Subject: Re: 6.0 issues
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 16:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F4102D6.1040704@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3F40F66E.1080508@redhat.com>

Just to re-iterate a point: GDB's releases are time rather than feature 
based.

- in the past attempts to do feature based releases have gone badly off 
the rails.  This 6.0 release had some annotate related features and it, 
consistent with the form, has also suffered schedule problems

- the general intent is, once the branch has been cut, only fixes get 
pushed onto it.  The late completion of the annotate stuff has blured 
this, as has the frame stuff, but the general intent is still there.

New features go into the mainline, and people wanting the features can 
pick it up from there.

Andrew
