That's why announcements about new releases are posted when they are 
uploaded.  You can subscribe to the djgpp-announce mailing list, if you 
want.

Actually, nobody has yet asked that, so it's not really a frequent 
question ;-).

More importantly, I think this issue has some subtle aspects that I'm 
afraid would confuse people rather than help them.  Especially since the 
version of gxx that comes with djdev203.zip has some new features in it
that gpp lacks (people who are interested in these new features can find 
them in the "What's Changed" section of the DJGPP Knowledge base).

So I'm not at all sure this should be in the FAQ.
