Hi,
We have worked on updating the GDB contained by the crash utility to
version 10.2. We are going to merge the patch series [1] next week.
Done by Lianbo, thanks.
The crash-7-branch is for distributions using crash-7 to have the time
for moving to crash-8, normally we will accept only fixes for bugs and
latest kernels to the branch.
Thanks,
Kazu

And, here is the plan of the next releases:
1. create "crash-7-branch" to maintain the current gdb-7.6 crash
for more several months.
2. merge the gdb-10.2 patch series into the master branch.
3. release crash-8.0.0 with gdb-10.2 and crash-7.3.1 with gdb-7.6
in this November or December.
4. release crash-7.3.2 with gdb-7.6 next year as its end of life.
Nov or Dec May? (every 6 months)
8.0.0 8.0.1
master -------+--gdb10.2--*--------------*------>
|
crash-7-branch `-----------*--------------| (end of life)
7.3.1 7.3.2
It would be helpful if you would test it and report/fix bugs.
We would like to thank Alexey Makhalov, who has done this excellent work,
Tao Liu also has helped us test and fix bugs a lot, Youling Tang has tested
on MIPS architecture, and all developers who have tested and reported bugs.
Thanks,
Kazu
