Hey everyone,
Known issues:
* [KeithS/TomT] PR symtab/23010 (Regression: Assertion: SYMBOL_LANGUAGE
ym) == DICT_LANGUAGE (dict)->la_language)
This is a regression. Tom sent a patch which got peer-reviewed
by KeithS, and I gave it a nod, so it should go in sometime
soon. But we still need to discuss whether the patch is suitable
for 8.1.1.

* GDBserver broken on Windows
A bit of a late addition to the list. No GDB PR yet.

We have a set of patches being discussed, but even with
those patches, I'm not sure we'd be back to nominal shape.
Patch #3 has the potential to affect all intel targets.
Not sure if we want those in for 8.1.1 either, but we'll
discuss those patches once they are in the master branch.
We're now around the time we were planning on doing the updated
release. So far, le list of fixed issues is fairly small (5):
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?list_id=42042&product=gdb&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=8.1.1
And none of the issues look overly critical, so I would say we are
not in a hurry to produce the .1, and we can take a bit of extra
time to discuss the two identified issues above.
