GCC 3.0.4, the last of the 3.0 series (the next release will be 3.1, around April 15) has been released. It's a "bugfix release" that (you guessed it) has many bugfixes. Read on for the full announcement.

New in 3.0.4:

• GCC 3.0 now supports newer versions of the NetBSD operating system, which use the ELF object file format, on x86 processors.
• Correct debugging information is generated from functions that have lines from multiple files (e.g. yacc output).
• A fix for whitespace handling in the -traditional preprocessor, which can affect Fortran.
• Fixes to the exception handling runtime.
• More fixes for bad code generation in C++.
• A fix for shared library generation under AIX 4.3.
• Documentation updates.
• Port of GCC to Tensilica's Xtensa processor contributed.
• A fix for compiling the PPC Linux kernel (FAT fs wouldn't link).

Subject: GCC 3.0.4 Released

GCC 3.0.4 is now available from sites listed at these URLs:

 http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html

Not all of the mirrors have the release yet.  Therefore, it would
be polite to wait for a day or two before rushing to download the
new release.  [I would have delayed making this announcement, except
that people are starting to ask lots of questions about the release
already.]

This release is a bug-fix release in the GCC 3.0 series.  There are
no major new features; however, there are many bugs fixed.  People
too numerous to mention contributed to fixing these bugs.

A summary of some of the improvements in this release is available
at:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/features.html

Joe Buck was kind enough to prepare a list of PRs fixed in this
release:

The next GCC release will be GCC 3.1.  This release will contain many
new features and improvements.  The anticipated release date is
April 15th, 2001.

The MD5 sum files on mirrors of gcc.gnu.org are wrong; apparently
some automated job created an md5.sum file there in the midst of
my uploading of the files.  I have corrected the problem on
gcc.gnu.org, mirrors will get the new md5.sum shortly.  The correct
contents are:
