Saucy is now open for development, with syncs from unstable currently running. The development version starts with updated versions of GCC and boost.
- GCC 4.8 is now the default compiler, introducing among other things improved C++11 support, AddressSanitizer , a fast memory error detector, and ThreadSanitizer, a tool do detect data races. Find the complete list of changes at [1]. Information on porting to GCC 4.8 from previous versions of GCC can be found in the porting guide [2]. The cross compilers for armhf, arm64 and powerpc default to 4.8 as well. - Glibc and binutils updates will follow later during this cycle. - boost was updated from v1.49 to v1.53. Please check your uploads in a saucy chroot, don't just test in a raring environment. See [3] how to setup such a development chroot.
