2008-08-02
An installer program for TDM-GCC and MinGW has been released, capable of upgrading your installation when new versions are released.

2008-06-26
GCC 4.3.1 TDM-1 is now available. This release is based on GCC 4.3.1 but incorporates the same patches as the 4.3.0-tdm-3 release, plus an additional local fix for a minor bug.

2008-06-09
GCC 4.2.4 TDM-1 is now available. This release incorporates the same set of relevant TDM patches as the 4.2.3 release.

2008-05-30
GCC 4.3.0 TDM-3 released! Shared libgcc and libstdc++ are temporarily gone, but exceptions from DLLs work without them. A couple of other bugfixes.

2008-05-29
The last kinks seem to have been worked out of a ported version of GCC 3.4.5/MinGW's exceptions/DLLs mechanism. Expect 4.3.0-tdm-3 soon! Also expect builds of 4.2.4 and, when it's released, 4.3.1.

local fixes and changes

[4.3 series] Includes a patch ported from the official MinGW 3.4.5 release to propagate exceptions out of DLLs without the need for shared versions of libgcc and libstdc++.
[4.3 series] Includes several fixes backported from GCC trunk (4.4) sources for better MSVCRT format string support.
[4.3 series] Includes a fix backported from GCC trunk (4.4) sources for dllimported constructor/destructor declaration overriding.
Includes a patch to keep GCC from erroneously using the CWD as the installation directory.
Configured with "--enable-fully-dynamic-string", which fixes a bug when passing empty std::string objects between DLLs and EXEs.

[The following patches were only necessary for the 4.2 series; they are already present in the 4.3 sources]

Includes a patch which fixes GCC bug #27067. The primary reason for including this patch was to let the wxWidgets GUI library compile successfully out-of-the-box. (See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27067)
Includes a patch to remove a dependency on the runtime for the classic ctype table, moving it to libstdc++ itself. (See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01413.html)
Includes a patch to fix an ICE when compiling gettext (See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29826)
