Mark Mitchell recently announced the release of GCC 3.3.1, including "a very large number of bug-fixes relative to GCC 3.3". The complete (and lengthy) list of bug-fixes can be found here. Mark goes on to add, "The next release of GCC will be GCC 3.3.2, which will be a bug-fix release." GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection.

Read on for the complete release announcement.

The GCC 3.3.1 release is now available from the sites listed at:

 http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

This release contains a very large number of bug-fixes relative to GCC
3.3.  Scroll to the bottom of:

 http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.3/changes.html

for a complete list of bugs fixed.

The next release of GCC will be GCC 3.3.2, which will be a bug-fix
release.

As always, there are far too many people involved in the development
and testing of GCC to name them all, but I would like to recognize a
few people whose efforts made it notably easier for me to manage this
release:

In alphabetical order:

- Joe Buck, for producing our release notes.

- Wolfgang Bangerth and Andrew Pinski for classifying and triaging
  lots of bugs.

- Janis Johnson for tracking down the causes of numerous regressions.

I've also been asked to mention Paolo Carlini's

I realize that 3.3 is pretty cool.

My question was meant to compare 3.3 and 3.3.1. Since 3.3.1 is mostly a bugfix release, I wouldn't expect huge shifts, but sometimes bug-fixes nuke certain optimizations, and sometimes they fix failing optimizations.

The complete changelog is no

The complete changelog is no good if you just want to see what changed between 3.3 and 3.3.1.
