Long-term-support release 20120406 of mspgcc is now available. The elements of this release are:
binutils-2.21.1a-20120406 gcc-4.6.3-20120406 gdb-7.2a-20111205 msp430libc-20120224 msp430mcu-20120406 Quoting from http://www.mail-archive.com/mspgcc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10028.html: Certain releases of mspgcc will be marked as "Long Term Support". These releases include well-tested sets of patches against specific versions of upstream packages like gcc and binutils. The maintenance promise for LTS releases is that reproducible "significant" bugs for which a non-disruptive fixes can be identified will be fixed and patches supplied which can be applied on top of the patches provided in the corresponding mspgcc release. [...] Downstream packagers should publish only LTS releases, and should periodically check for new patches to be integrated into their packages (though I'll try to announce them periodically). Patches are archived on the patches branch of the mspgcc repository, and are published for individual download at in Files/Patches on SourceForge. Such patches will also be committed to the release branches on the gcc/binutils/gdb git repositories. Upstream gcc enhancements required for 20-bit support mean that the development series must transition to be based on gcc 4.7.0. The first 4.7.x development release will be in the next couple weeks. The patch bundle is available at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc/files/mspgcc/ The tag workspace/release/20120406 in git://mspgcc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/mspgcc/mspgcc checks out a workspace configured for this release. Downstream packagers: please use this version in subsequent distributions. As usual, please submit problems as tracker tickets at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=42303&atid=432701 Summary of changes in mspgcc release 20120406 since release 20120330 binutils: changes from binutils-2.21.1a-20120330 to binutils-2.21.1a-20120406: - 5c6c3c5 [2012-04-06 08:28:15 -0500] Update DEV-PHASE for release - fb6b35b [2012-03-29 04:00:07 -0500] SF 3512502 address mode fails to accept CG-compatible immediates gcc: changes from gcc-4.6.2-20120330 to gcc-4.6.3-20120406: - 32f42c9 [2012-04-06 11:08:42 -0500] Update DEV-PHASE for release - e33bad7 [2012-04-06 08:36:12 -0500] Update for release - dffc052 [2012-03-02 16:16:08 -0600] Check in from gcc-4.6.3 distribution tar file gdb: no changes msp430-libc: no changes msp430mcu: changes from msp430mcu-20120330 to msp430mcu-20120406: - 10cf8a1 [2012-04-06 08:19:43 -0500] Regenerate - 15bf2f6 [2012-04-06 08:19:20 -0500] Update version number and release notes - 21aeaf4 [2012-04-05 18:17:09 -0500] SF 3514609 mcu suffix loses mcu characteristics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
