Hi all, The following list is what I see as current blockers that need to be dealt with before release. If these are cleared by about this time tomorrow, then I'll prepare a release before FOSDEM. If not, we'll discuss it further there and release afterwards. If you wish to add anything to this list, please let me know. Pre-release Requirements: * PR3511: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35111 * PR35270: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35270 * PR35274: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35274 * The three outstanding regressions mentioned earlier. * Look into http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27204 and http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32486 further. * Remove unversioned gcjh test In the meantime, please try and test with your favourite VM and let us know of any issues, and whether you think they are release critical or not. The following will take place post-release: * Abstraction of StringBuffer/Builder (see my earlier patch) * Addition of new non-copying StringBuilder for use internally * Integration of javax.activation (part of 1.6) * Locale data update -- Andrew :-) Support Free Java!
