# Progress #

In general, GDB mainline is in a good state. All known bugs are fixed,
but still have some patches pending for review. The release can be
created after these pending patches are in.

* Fix fail in gdb.base/interrupt-noterm.exp. TCWG-517. Done. [2/10]
* Fix fail in gdb.fortran/vla-value.exp. TCWG-521. Done. [1/10]
* PR 19474. [3/10]
Tried different approaches, but still cause regression.
Fortunately get the right maintainer involved. Will discuss with
him on this bug next week.
* Range stepping doesn't work on arm-linux, which slows down stepping
over a line of source. TCWG-518. [2/10]
* Prepare slides for Linaro Connect. [2/10]

# Plan #

* Off on Mon. to Wed.
* Linaro connect slides.
* Thailand visa.
* Other issues on GDB 7.11 release, if any.
