Just Linux

Although mainly just a bug-fix release, there is something special in the newest release of the GNU Compiler Collection. It is the first release, where the compilers are licensed under version 3 of the General Public License.

The next release 4.3, which is currently under development, includes more profound changes. Among them is (currently experimental) support of the upcoming C++0x ISO standard.

The upcoming ISO standard will add changes to both the core language and the standard libraries. Core language changes include better support for multithreading and generic programming, and more flexible constructors and initialization.  More information on the standard can be found in Wikipedia.
