I propose to do a 3.8.1 release on Friday Sept 7, that is, two weeks from today and hence four weeks from the 3.8.0 release. This is to fix a couple of regressions in 3.8.0 and also to ship various other fixes for bugs that didn't get fixed in time for the 3.8.0 release. 3.8.1 will contain fixes for the following, which are already fixed in the trunk but not yet merged to 3_8_BRANCH: 284004 == 301281 289584 Unhandled instruction: 0xF 0x29 0xE5 (MOVAPS) 295808 amd64->IR: 0xF3 0xF 0xBC 0xC0 (TZCNT) 301281 valgrind hangs on OS X when the process calls system() 304867 implement MOVBE instruction in x86 mode 305042 amd64: implement 0F 7F encoding of movq between two registers 305199 ARM: implement QDADD and QDSUB 305321 amd64->IR: 0xF 0xD 0xC (prefetchw) n-i-bz shmat of a segment > 4Gb does not work n-i-bz gdbserver_tests/simulate_control_c script wrong USR1 sig# on mips n-i-bz vgdb ptrace calls wrong on mips, causing blocked syscalls to fail n-i-bz Fixes for more MPI false positives I'd also like to ship fixes for these, which are as-yet unfixed: 304980 Assertion 'lo <= hi' failed in vgModuleLocal_find_rx_mapping 305513 killed by fatal signal: SIGSEGV 298281 wcslen causes false(?) uninitialised value warnings 303536 ioctl for SIOCETHTOOL (ethtool(8)) isn't wrapped (w/ patch) 303741 sockaddr* parameter of recvfrom not handled correctly n-i-bz exp-sgcheck asserts on gcc-4.6.2 generated Dwarf3 Any other critical breakage we should fix for 3.8.1 ? All else being equal, I also propose a 3.8.2 release roughly 6 weeks after 3.8.1. In the 3.7 cycle we never shipped any 3.7.X followup releases, which meant there was a very long (9 month) gap with no point releases to fix bugs. That was not good, from the point of view of either users or packagers, and I want to do better in the 3.8 cycle. J |

So I will push this along in the week commencing 17 Sept. J |
