Re: [sdcc-devel] Another sdcc release at the end of the year?

[Maarten B. <sou...@ds...>]

Hi Philipp,

Can this wait until january? I would like to have the sdas/ASxxxx upgrade
done before the next release and have more spare time by the end of the
year.

We also have to focus on the sourceforge upgrade that should be done
before the end of the year.

Btw. Have you noticed that gbz80 is failing regression tests on the
Raspbian machine?
