"The GCC 3.4.1 will follow in approximately two months. It will contain only fixes for regressions in GCC 3.4.0 release to previous releases of GCC. The next major release of GCC (whose version number is still undecided) will be released in late 2004 or early 2005."
Mark Mitchell, the GCC Release Manager, announced today GCC 3.3.2, the newest bug-fix release. He says:
"I do not anticipate any further GCC 3.3.x releases; the next GCC release will be GCC 3.4, which will contain a number of new features such as pre-compiled headers, a new C++ parser, and improved optimizations. It's difficult to predict a release date for GCC 3.4, but my current
best guess is March 1st, 2004. It's possible that there will be a GCC 3.3.3, if the GCC 3.4 schedule
slips significantly."

Mark Mitchell commented today on the gcc-announce mailing list that the recent GCC 3.3.1 release [story] includes a new file titled 'README.SCO', expressing outrage at SCO's recent legal actions against the Linux kernel. From the document:
"As all users of GCC will know, SCO has recently made claims concerning alleged copyright infringement by recent versions of the operating system kernel called Linux. SCO has made irresponsible public statements about this supposed copyright infringement without releasing any evidence of the infringement, and has demanded that users of Linux, the kernel most often used with the GNU system, pay for a license. This license is incompatible with the GPL, and in the opinion of the Free Software Foundation such a demand unquestionably violates the GNU General Public License under which the kernel is distributed."
The statement goes on to discuss the possibility of dropping GCC support for the SCO Unix platform in protests, noting however that at this time it would be more of an inconvenience to users than SCO itself, "but we cannot indefinitely continue to ignore the aggression against our community taken by a party that has long profited from the commercial distribution of our programs. We urge users of SCO Unix to make clear to SCO their disapproval of the company's aggression against the free software community." Read on for the full statement, written by Richard Stallman and Eben Moglen.
