First of all, a big thank you for all of you who fixed some of those PRs that were marked for 8.0! As of now, we have 3 PRs currently open: * gdb/21187 Static linking of libstdc++ and libgcc with GDB leads to broken exception handling on AIX platform I consider this one blocking for release (OK for branching): New regression, no easy workaround. The person who opened the PR actually sent a patch to bugzilla, but I asked him (in Cc: here) to send the patch here, so it can be reviewed, and possibly integrated. It's a workaround, but it introduces a feature which could also be useful in other contexts. It should be sufficiently small and obvious that copyright assignment not be an issue. * gdb/21216 regression: TUI by: Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make ui_file a class hierarchy We should be changing the subject to "missing carriage return in TUI mode" or something like that. That's what it is about. Clearly a regression, clearly blocking. But the hope is that it be relatively simple to fix (from the look of it). Already assigned. * gdb/21169 GDBServer on ARM can crash the inferior while single stepping Considered blocking, but only if it doesn't delay the release unreasonably. Antoine is this PR's champion. So, all in all, at the moment, I don't think we have anything blocking for creating the release. But if you know of some other issues, please let us know. At this point, we're getting sufficiently close to starting the release process that I would like people to let me know when they mark a PR for 8.0 (target milestone field), as this is the signal that we can't release until it is fixed. And when you do, please explain what your reasons are. Thank you! -- Joel
