doc/go1.4.html:284: GCC release 4.9 will contain the Go 1.2 (not 1.3) version of
gccgo.
Isn't this the old news? This text isn't updated from last time.
Surely there is a gcc release with 1.3 by now?

[r, 2014-10-29 19:29:39]

I am told otherwise.

There is some slightly updated text, but the result is still the same.  The only
thing that has changed between this time and now is that the new GCC release
will not be called 4.10 due to a change in naming conventions:
https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#num_scheme.  GCC 4.9.1 came out after go1.3 and
is the most recent release: https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/releases.html, so
that is the updated news unless I'm misunderstanding. GCC 5 is still in stage 1
development: https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#timeline and if we're able to
update libgo to 1.4 before stage 3 starts, it will be in the GCC 5 release.

Okay, I understand now (maybe), but mentioning 1.3 seems unnecessary here, and
the future tense is wrong (sounds like 4.9 is out).

The release schedules for the GCC and Go projects do not coincide.
GCC release 4.9 contains the Go 1.2 version of gccgo.
The next release, GCC 5, will likely have the Go 1.4 version of gccgo.
