Amber: 4.7 2012.07 source release for reasons described below. Green : 4.6 2012.07 source release done.

== Progress ==

* Worked on auto-inc-dec scheduler changes.First cut patch looking reasonable. * Committed the neon permute intrinsics upstream. * Release week : release tarballs prepared for 4.6 . The 4.6 release is GREEN. I will upload the release on Thursday morning after I am back in the office.

The 4.7 release had some issues - I had to rerun the release script because the merge contained some artifacts which were a result of merge conflicts. Having respun the release it turned out that the rsync from my machine to cbuild failed, which meant that I ended up testing the same snapshot twice.Given that the 2 tarballs only differ in the .rej and the .orig files and nothing more I'm not too worried about this because it should ideally just work. The good news is that ubutest and everything else went through ok. The bad news is that the oe build appears to be borked. We need to investigate that further. Having looked inside the tarballs and seen that the .rej and .orig files were the only things different between the 2 tarballs I don't think it's a huge problem for the release. I;ve spawned off another set of builds to be absolutely sure .

* Looked at neon costs and vdup improvements . The neon cost changes could cause regressions with 64 bit arithmetic and hence need to be looked at carefully. The vdup improvements cause carnage in gcc.target/arm/neon and tests for intrinsics have to be improved.

== Plans ==

* GNU Tools cauldron next week. * Deal with release week fall-out. * Write a patch to check md5sums between local tarball and uploaded tarball in the release script. * Look at auto-inc-dec patches more. * Background look into improving some of the tests that now fail with the vdup patches.

== Absences ==

* 8th - 11th July - GNU Tools Cauldron. * 17th Sept - 5th Oct - Vacation planned, yet to be approved.
