Mark Mitchell, the GCC Release Manager, announced today GCC 3.3.2, the newest bug-fix release. He says:

"I do not anticipate any further GCC 3.3.x releases; the next GCC release will be GCC 3.4, which will contain a number of new features such as pre-compiled headers, a new C++ parser, and improved optimizations. It's difficult to predict a release date for GCC 3.4, but my current
best guess is March 1st, 2004. It's possible that there will be a GCC 3.3.3, if the GCC 3.4 schedule
slips significantly."

The complete list of bug-fixes (prepared by Joe Buck) can be found here. GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection. Read on for the complete release announcement.

I do not anticipate any further GCC 3.3.x releases; the next GCC release
will be GCC 3.4, which will contain a number of new features such as
pre-compiled headers, a new C++ parser, and improved optimizations. 
It's difficult to predict a release date for GCC 3.4, but my current
best guess is March 1st, 2004.

It's possible that there will be a GCC 3.3.3, if the GCC 3.4 schedule
slips significantly.

I'd like to thank Eric Botcazou for helping to produce, backport, and
apply a number of patches in advance of this release.  I'd also like to
thank everyone who fixed a bug for the GCC 3.3.2 -- a list too long to
give here!
