Well, since a couple of years, the GCC branching happens when the first release candidate is build. The actual release is then one or two weeks later - depending how many P1 bugs or other issues are found. Regarding the release time: In the last few years, GCC was usually released in March, April or May. In case of GCC 4.8.0: RC1 plus branching March 16, 4.8.0 release March 21 (announced: March 22). See also http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#timeline Regarding 4.9: My guess would be that it will take a bit longer this year due to some larger changes late in the game.
