I think these indeed are relevant differences. At the same time, I am sure there are GCC hackers/power users in addition to those regularily reading all of gcc@ and gcc-patches@, and it may be desirable to announce such changes to them as well. So, how about adding a section "Developer-relevant Changes" at the end of gcc-4.2/changes.html? Andrew, if you want to hack up a patch towards that end, I'll be glad to review/approve (unless some others strongly disagree, in which we'll need to consider this in more detail). Gerald
