GCC 4.2.4 Status Report (2008-05-12)

["Joseph S. Myers" <joseph at codesourcery dot com>]

Status
======

GCC 4.2.4-rc1 is now available from
<ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/4.2.4-RC-20080512/>.  All commits
to the GCC 4.2 branch need to be approved by a release manager until
GCC 4.2.4 is released.  All fixes going on that branch should first
have gone on trunk and 4.3 branch.

GCC 4.2.4 will follow in about a week in the absence of any
significant problems with 4.2.4-rc1.  If you believe a problem should
delay the release, please file a bug in Bugzilla, mark it as a
regression, note there the details of the previous 4.2 releases in
which it worked and CC me on it.  Anything that is not a regression
from a previous 4.2 release is unlikely to delay this release.

Any further 4.2 releases after 4.2.4 may depend on whether there is
expressed user and developer interest in further releases from this
branch, or whether 4.3 has been widely adopted in place of 4.2.  I
propose to leave the branch open for now after the 4.2.4 release, but
not to make any further regular status reports or start any planning
for 4.2.5.

I will send the next report for the 4.2 branch after 4.2.4 or
4.2.4-rc2 is released.
