Posted by timothy on from the deep-infrastructure dept.

AaronW writes "While checking the GCC website I saw that GCC version 3.4 was officially released on April 18th. Version 3.4 includes numerous changes and enhancements, including better optimization, and the ability to build a profiled version of gcc which is 7.5-11% faster on i386 hardware. Be kind and please use one of the mirror sites."

    Ideally no one would have noticed until tomorrow, when the official announcement will go out..

    1) No download link
    2) No Windows installer
    3) No articles on new features except some skimpy list
    4) No code samples
    5) No comparisons between what the old version generated and what the new one does (with C++ examples)

    I am sticking to Microsoft Visual C++, free version, that was recently announced here. More optimization options, too.
