GCC 3.3 was released today. Mark Mitchell announced the release saying:

"This release contains a very large number of bug-fixes relative to GCC 3.2.3, and a number of new features. See this page for a more complete list of changes."

GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection. This first release in the 3.3 line follows the earlier GCC 3.2.3 [story] by nearly a month. The next release will be 3.3.1, targeting bugs found in 3.3. Mention is made again of targets that have been marked obsolete, and will be removed in 3.4 [story]. Read on for the complete announcement.

This release contains a very large number of bug-fixes relative to GCC
3.2.3, and a number of new features.  See this page:

 http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.3/changes.html

for a more complete list of changes.

The next release of GCC will be GCC 3.3.1, which will be a bug-fix
release.

As always, there are far too many people involved in the development
and testing of GCC to name them all, but I would like to recognize a
few people whose efforts made it notably easier for me to manage this
release:

In alphabetical order:

- Joe Buck, for producing our release notes.

- Richard Henderson, for reviewing zillions of patches.

- Gerald Pfeifer, for maintaining all of the web documentation.

- Angela Thomas, for putting our CVS repository back together in
  incredibly short order, after I made a mess of it.
