I'm looking at our TODO list for this release (http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_7.0_Release): * Assert in frame.c:get_frame_arch I don't think anyone actually triggered that assert so far, so we might not have to remove it from the branch. We can postpone that decision for after we've created the branch. * Python: Pretty printing Done? * Inlining support Mark to provide some feedback about the proposed patch. * PR/9711: Quadratic slowdown for "where" command. I don't think anyone worked on that one so far. Any volunteer? Optional items: * Python: Support for new parameters and/or convenience functions (?) I forgot what this means :-( * Process record and replay: Sounds like this is still underway * Multiprocess support: Sounds like work is also underway. Status update on how far we are? Thanks, everyone. I can't wait to see 7.0 out :). -- Joel
