GCC 6.3 vs 6.3.1 - whats the difference? Is 6.3.1 an unofficial secret GCC release?

2017-06-12 Thread info rmer
A lot of Linux distributions have gcc 6.3.1 available, or even preinstalled.
However, I am not able to find any info about 6.3.1 at the official GCC pages 
at gnu org.
Please tell, is 6.3.1 an unofficial secret GCC release?
What is the difference between 6.3 and 6.3.1, any changelog?

Thank you very much. Is there any way to obtain the source code for this 6.3.1 
version?
Or is it unknown - at what point of GCC 6 branch development the distro 
maintainers have cloned their GCC?

Sadly this num_scheme link does not contain any mention to 6.3.1
