Hello everyone,

We're about 2 weeks away from the planned date 8.1.1 release.

Currently, we have two items identified in our 8.1.1 TODO:

  * [KeithS/TomT] PR symtab/23010 (Regression: Assertion: SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym) == DI
CT_LANGUAGE (dict)->la_language)

      	This is a regression. Tom sent a patch which got peer-reviewed
        by KeithS, but still needs a Maintainer to look at it:
        https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-04/msg00234.html

        I will take a look later this week, if no one else does.

  * [KevinB] Setting breakpoints with -freorder-blocks-and-partition

    	Looks like this is a latent bug, but made much more visible
    	by newer versions of GCC having made that switch the default.

    	This one was added to the 8.1.1 so we don't forget to evalute
    	its status before we ship 8.1.1. Any update?

Jan mentioned one patch last week, but I believe it was gdb/23053,
which is now marked as fixed.

Anything else that we should consider?

Thanks!
