“The GNU project and the GCC/EGCS developers are pleased to
announce the release of GCC version 2.95. GCC used to stand for the
GNU C Compiler, but since the compiler supports several other
languages aside from C, it now stands for the GNU Compiler
Collection.”

“This is the first release of GCC since the April 1999 GCC/EGCS
reunification and includes nearly a year’s worth of new development
and bugfixes.”

“The whole suite has been extensively regression tested and
package tested. It should be reliable and suitable for widespread
use.”
