I have recently taken over maintenance of the GNU assembler for the FSF.
It's been a while since the last release, so I'm sending out this note to
let people know that work on the assembler is continuing.
	I aim to have a new version available for general release in early
'93.  It will be a merged version of the FSF gas currently in testing
(1.92.3) and some work that's been ongoing at Cygnus, further refining and
enhancing support for a few of the targets.
	It will also include as many bug fixes and enhancements as I have
time to integrate.
	A new version should be going out to pre-alpha testers/developers
within a couple weeks or so.

A related project I've been working on has been the conversion of the
assembler to use the BFD library used by GDB and binutils; it should
simplify development and maintenance work for the toolchain as a whole once
the conversion is complete.  I don't know yet whether that will be folded
in for this release; it has a way to go before it's ready for general use.
(If anyone is interested in assisting in the development work on this,
please send me mail.)

So keep those bug reports coming in...
