Richard Stallman founded the GNU Project in 1984, and the Free Software Foundation in 1985. He also originally authored a number of well known and highly used development tools, including the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), the GNU symbolic debugger (GDB) and GNU Emacs.
To better understand Richard Stallman and the GNU project, I recommend you begin by reviewing their philosophy page. On it you will find a wealth of information.
We began this interview via email, but later had to finish by telephone after Richard Stallman fell and broke his arm. He was kind enough to speak with me at length, discussing his first contact with computers, his time in the AI lab, the current state of the GNU Hurd, his current role in the Free Software Foundation, the problems with non-free software, and much more. The following words offer much insight into how we got here, and what challenges we still face.
Mark Mitchell announced the release of GCC 3.4.3 saying, "there are no new features in this release, but there are a lot of improvements for various languages and architectures."
Mark Mitchell officially announced the release of GCC 3.4.0 saying, "this release contains a large number of new features relative to GCC 3.3.3 as well as over 900 fixes for defects in previous releases." Review the changelog, then download GCC 3.4.0 from a mirror. As for the future of the GNU Compiler Collection, Mark went on to note:
"The GCC 3.4.1 will follow in approximately two months. It will contain only fixes for regressions in GCC 3.4.0 release to previous releases of GCC. The next major release of GCC (whose version number is still undecided) will be released in late 2004 or early 2005."
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."
