- Subject: Time for a new release?
Hello,
It's been almost 4 months since the last release (6.4). I was
unfortunately too busy lately to follow closely the GDB development.
I looked at the NEWS file, and see a few interesting thing there.
New commands, improved windows host support, etc.
Perhaps it is time to think about a new release? I'm thinking about
the following timeline:
Branch: Apr 3rd
Pre-release: Apr 5th
Release: Apr 19th
Basically, a first pre-release a couple of days after branching.
And then the first release if all goes well two weeks after, to
give us some time to flush any issue we might find.
Also, do we want to distribute GDB with -Werror enabled? It's fair
to have us build GDB with -Werror, but I would feel more comfortable
distributing something that's easier to compiler for the end user.
I think this will avoid some traffic from users who don't know what
to do with the fatal warnings.
Thoughts?
