We have two options. Either: (a) Include a simplified version of PR symtab/23010, and then release; For the record, this is: [KeithS] PR symtab/23010 (Regression: Assertion: SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym) ==[...] (b) Release as is. PR symtab/23010 is now fixed in the gdb-8.2-branch, and I think 8.2 is not too far off. So I don't think we really need to do (a), particularly since the issue is not very common; we can just keep PR symtab/23010 as a documentation that the problem affects 8.1.1. There is a third alternative: (c) Actually not release at all! The number of fixes on that branch was very small, and now 8.2 is getting very close; so I'm not sure how many people would stay on 8.1.1 rather than 8.2. Given that this is just a couple of hours of my time, unless we're sure it would be useless, I propose we still go ahead with the 8.1.1 release. Thoughts? For now, I'm thinking of going with (b)... Thanks! -- Joel
