The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2014.08
stable release of both Linaro GCC 4.9 and Linaro GCC 4.8 source package.

With the imminent release of ARMv8 hardware and the recent release of the
GCC 4.9 compiler the Linaro TCWG will be focusing on stabilization and
performance of the compiler as the FSF GCC compiler.  The Linaro TCWG provides
stable[1] quarterly releases and monthly engineering[2] releases.

Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.08 is the fifth Linaro GCC source package release and first
stable one in the 4.9 series.  It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.2-pre+svn213803 and
includes performance improvements and bug fixes.

Interesting changes in this GCC source package release include:

* Updates to GCC 4.9.2-pre+svn213803
* Backport of [AArch64] Drop ISB after FPCR write.
* Backport of [AArch64] Remove from arm_neon.h functions not in the spec
* Backport of [AArch32] Fix check for __FAST_MATH in arm_neon.h
* Backport of [AArch64] fix and enable non-const shuffle for bigendian using TBL
  instruction

* Backport of [AArch32] Cortex-A5 rtx costs table
* Backport of [AArch32] Handle clz, rbit types in arm pipeline descriptions
* Backport of [AArch64] Fix argument types for some high_lane* intrinsics
  implemented in assembly
* Backport of [AArch64] Handle fcvta[su] and frint in RTX cost function
* Backport of [AArch64] Prologue rewrite + performance.

Linaro GCC 4.8 2014.08 is the fourteenth release in the 4.8 series and is in
maintenance.  Based off the latest GCC 4.8.4+svn213802 release, it includes
performance improvements and bug fixes.
