Hi hackers, It is May already and 0.168 was released 4 months ago. So it is really time to get a new release out (we normally do one every 3 months). There have been a couple of crasher fixes that would be good to make sure are in a stable (distro) release. So I would like to do a 0.169 release this week.
The frame pointer unwinder patches for x86_64, i686 and aarch64 seem good to go in before release. And I'll do another scan over the submitted patches on the mailinglist from the last 2 weeks. I most likely won't apply the big gnulib modules integration patch before the release. I am afraid that will be a little too disruptive right for a release. But I do think that is a good thing to integrate. So if we integrate that soon after the release then we can test it a little better for 0.170. I also didn't have time to finish my DWARF5 work. So that too would also go into the next release. We could do the next release a bit quicker to compensate for 0.169 being a month late and do 0.170 after 2 months (end of June/start of July). Cheers, Mark
