Status ====== The two months of Stage 3 have ended and the trunk is now in regression and documentation fixes only mode.
At this point bugfixing should concentrate on getting the list of serious regressions down to a level that makes GCC 4.4 ready to release. As an exception to this we will still have the old register allocator removed before we branch for the GCC 4.4.0 release. As usual maintainers may consider fixing serious bugs such as rejection of valid code or wrong-code bugs appropriate even if they are not regressions. The two quality metrics you know from the past still apply. We will consider releasing GCC 4.4.0 once the number of serious regressions is below 100 and no more P1 regressions remain. Only after releasing GCC 4.4.0 we will branch and open Stage 1 for GCC 4.5 development. Past experience tells us that we can expect this to happen not before another two months pass, which would be early next year. Quality Data ============ Priority # Change from Last Report -------- --- ----------------------- P1 17 - 9 P2 141 + 8 P3 3 + 1 -------- --- ----------------------- Total 161 +- 0 We seem to make good progress in tackling P1 bugs though the overall number of serious regressions didn't decline. Which probably means we are getting more testing coverage now, which is good. I encourage maintainers to look over the bugs in their respective area and make sure we do not miss regressions that are not marked appropriately ([X.Y Regression] in the summary and a target milestone of the next version of the oldest active branch affected). In case you think a bug is not appropriately prioritized bump the priority back to P3 which makes the release managers aware of it. Note that P3 means un-prioritized and that only bugs for C, C++ and their runtimes for the list of primary and secondary targets listed at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/criteria.html qualify for P1 or P2.
