News outdated and repo needs 3.3.0 tag commit fix

News outdated and repo needs 3.3.0 tag commit fix

[Brian Inglis]

Hi folks,

Noticed that News from newlib home page has not been updated for 4.3.0:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-htdocs.git;a=blob;f=news.html

email:	newlib-4.3.0 yearly snapshot created
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/newlib/2023/020141.html
https://inbox.sourceware.org/newlib/CAOox84tjkL4VUHCA5ZQ1FOk0KQv6BTat0XA+RYSHnaYANYdijQ@mail.gmail.com/

4.2.0 lacks the announcement in discussion:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/newlib/2022/019078.html
https://inbox.sourceware.org/newlib/CAOox84vpcvdynm2gEvDzS1sC55sp66zMoq_zRCCxidZTsm9hEQ@mail.gmail.com/

and there appears to never have been an announcement for 3.3.0,
post copyright updates, just the tag newlib-3.3.0:

Newlib snapshot for 3.3.0
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=tag;h=b74fcc878149cbf775f2ef12725e9fe48aff7122

but that newlib-3.3.0 tag is on a later Cygwin patch rather than:

Bump up newlib release to 3.3.0
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=commit;h=4e78f8ea163fec468072e8fe1f498b9abaaf838f

Hi Brian,

Thanks for pointing this out.  I'll fix the 4.2.0 and 4.3.0 announcements.

Regarding 3.3.0, the tag gets created in the same script I create the
snapshot so the tag should always match the snapshot.  There were
mitigating circumstances as to why the message wasn't posted, but I'll try
and not let it happen again.

Hi Jeff,

The script needs work then ;^> - the tag was attached to the third Cygwin commit 
after - almost 14 hours later!
Maybe skip commits where any of the targets are under winsup/?

add pseudo console fixes to release text	newlib-3.3.0
[Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:05:51 +0000 (11:05 +0100)]

...

Bump up newlib release to 3.3.0
[Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:17:43 +0000 (15:17 -0500)]

Announcement messages are things we sometimes get distracted from by life.
GNU and Cygwin do not always announce every library or package update.
