GCC 14.1 Compiler Aiming For Release Around 7 May

[gfilatov]

Hi Friends,

Just for your information.

Written by Michael Larabel in GNU on 26 April 2024 at 08:00 AM

The GCC 14 compiler code was branched from the main Git branch with release preparations for GCC 14 underway. A status report was just published outlining release plans for getting GCC 14.1 stable out around 7 May.

With the GCC 14 code now being branched, GCC 15 is in development on the mainline Git code. A GCC 14.1 release candidate should be out next week while the hope is to release GCC 14.1 stable around 7 May. In today's status report they have cleared all the highest priority "P1" regressions while now are up to 606 P2 regressions and 57 P3 regressions.

Long story short, GCC 14.1 stable should be out by mid-May.

The GCC developers are pleased to announce the release of GCC 14.1.

This release is a major release, containing new features (as well as many other improvements) relative to GCC 13.x.

References and Acknowledgements
GCC used to stand for the GNU C Compiler, but since the compiler supports several other languages aside from C, it now stands for the GNU Compiler Collection.

The GCC developers would like to thank the numerous people that have contributed new features, improvements, bug fixes, and other changes as well as test results to GCC. This amazing group of volunteers is what makes GCC successful.

Hi Friends,

You can see the first results of testing the new MinGW 14.1 (64-bit) with the Harbour compiler in ST amd MT modes below:
