Creating the gdb-6.7 branch soon (3 weeks to go?)

Hello everyone,

We're getting close to the planned branching date for the
next GDB
release. Branching is planned May 27, a first pre-release 2
weeks
after, followed by an official release again 2 weeks after.

I've noticed that development was quite active the past few
weeks,
so if the planned dates are interfering with some ongoing
work that
you'd like to finish before branching, let us know.

Cheers,

Doesn't make much difference to me; but if I haven't dealt
with the
signed/unsigned char display issue by then, please remind me
about it.
Whatever change we decide to make we should do it before
6.7.  I've
been meaning to come back to that.

Given the number of platforms that Mark would be able to
test, and
given that there is no imperative that we release by a
certain date,
I propose we revise the dates to be:

  - Branch date: June 10th
  - Pre-release: June 24th
  - Release    : July 8th (probably 9th, which is a Monday,
actually)

That should give Mark enough time to test his configurations
before
the pre-release.

Any objection?
