Interesting coincidence that you should ask, because I was thinking
about giving an update and asking for a status as well...

On my end, life and work have been a lot fuller than I would have
liked, and so I haven't had time to really think about the release.
I am hoping to invest some time into updating the scripts making
that release this comming weekend or the next.

I see there are still some issues listed in the wiki page.

 * [Jan/Doug] Record objfile->original_name as an absolute path
   https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00275.html

        ISTR seeing a aggreement on something like this.
        Is it done?

 * [PhilippeW] "catch syscall" with gdbserver
   https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00922.html

        I haven't followed this part of the development, and
        I don't see a NEWS entry for it, so still pending?

Any other important isses that should be on the list?

Personally, I'd like to see a resolution of the discussion which
started with the RFC for a new GDB/MI command to determine whether
a given GDB/MI command exists or not. Any objection to adding this?
The reason why I would like this in 7.7 is that it would allow me
to remove some entries I recently added to the -list-features command,
but would become unnecessary once implemented.

   Initial proposal:

   It seems to have gone in a different direction:
