And here we go, in time for the release of GCC 7 / branching of GCC 8. (Except, this time I went ahead and already created gcc-8/changes.html so that you guys don't have to worry about that. ;-) Note, I added this to branching.html, not releasing.html, not the least since branching.html already had the creation of other web pages for the new release series and that also seems the more appropriate point time- wise.
