Written by Michael Larabel in GNU on 15 December 2016 at 06:27 AM EST. Add A Comment

It looks like GCC developers are making good on their effort to release GCC 6.3 by Christmas.

On Wednesday Jakub Jelinek announced in the 6.3 status report about the state of the GCC 6 branch being frozen for blocking regressions and documentation fixes only.

Jakub also announced the GCC 6.3 release candidate.

He's hoping to officially release this maintenance update to GCC 6 by the middle of next week.
