When can we expect a TDM-GCC release based on GCC 4.7.0? :)

I think TDM is better to build 4.7 when the bug http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52465 is fixed. The bug can prevent WebKit from building.

And at present, 4.7 can't build Code::Blocks trunk : http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,16039.0.html  
Hope Jens will fix it soon.

thomas:
Neither of these are actual reasons against a TDM 4.7 build, if you ask me.

The Code::Blocks (or rather Squirrel) issue is not GCC's fault, it's code relying on non-conforming behaviour that breaks. The new behaviour is correct.
The WebKit issue seems to be a GCC bug indeed, but one that will only affect few people. On the other hand, the new version has a lot of very useful and eagerly anticipated features, which in my opinion by far outweight the sporadic bugs.

Justin Brimm:
Frankly, as long as GCC doesn't break any Objective-C features and continues to improve the runtime, I see no problem with the newest release, bugs and all.
