This status report has been a long time coming, for which I apologize. As fwprop is no longer on the table for 4.2, and as the vectorizer improvements seem to have stalled due to a combination of lack of review and Dorit's leave, I think it's time to declare 4.2 feature-complete.
That leaves us looking at regressions. There are lots; presently 56 P1s. About half of those are new in 4.2. So, we're not ready to create a 4.2 branch. Therefore, we need to make the mainline open for regression-fixes only to force ourselves to attack the open bugs. Please consider the mainline operating under release-branch rules as of 12:01 AM Wednesday, California time. That will give everyone a few days to check in any in-progress bug-fixes that are not regressions. At this time, I don't think it makes sense to set a 4.2 target branch date. We have to see how fast the bug-fixing goes. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
