For now, I'm labeling that next release as 8.3, but I have not forgotten the discussion about changing the versioning. If we are to target the date that we published, we would want to create the branch around Jan 15th. So we are about a month away. As always, I created a wiki page to help track the various activities around the release process. In particular, it provides links to bugzilla queries giving us a list of PRs targetting 8.3: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_8.3_Release Let's start a list of items we'd like to look into before we branch: * [JoelB] GDB crash or timeout on Windows native I do not have much information yet, as I haven't had time to investigate. But it looks like we're having timeouts or crashes. They seem specific to Windows Server 2016, and the problem must have appeared between Nov 19th and Nov 26th. My plan is to take a look at it during the Xmas break. Anything else? As far as I can tell, we currently have no PR listed for 8.3 (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=SUSPENDED&bug_status=WAITING&bug_status=REOPENED&list_id=45369&product=gdb&query_format=advanced&target_milestone=8.3)!
