Hello everyone,

Today was the day we were hoping to create the branch from.
I don't think we're quite ready:

- I think we might still have some patches that are unreviewed.
The cutoff was: Friday night Nov 11. Please ping us to make
sure they do not fall through the cracks!

- We're still waiting for Tom's awesome work on ambiguous linespec.
I think he's more or less ready to go, once he's re-based and
re-posted his patches (with a couple of improvements made for
the Ada support)

- I just discovered a build failure in gdb-dlfcn on Windows.
I need to investigate a little further what's going on, but
I am hoping to be able to send a patch soon.

On the optional TODO list, we have:

- Support for Darwin/Lion - Tristan told me that he started working
on this, but I don't think it's full time. I don't think we should
delay the branch without some sort of idea of how much time we
expect this work to take.

- Yao's tracepoint feature: Download tracepoint locations when tracing
is running.

I think all the patches are in, now, right?
