new versions of XFree86, GCC and the kernel

Hi,

Where can I get information of the upcoming releases of these software?

Brian Marr gave a link to a very good 2.4 kernel page, and getting info on
the linux kernel i somewhat easy, especially compared to finding info on
upcoming releases of GCC and XFree86.

So far, I've heard that GCC 3 may have Ada support, which is useful to me,
since we currently use Ada at uni.

Also, I heard that XFree86 4 will have better hardware support and will have
3D hardware support, which is of interest to me, since I have a Riva TNT
card.

I know of GNAT (to compile Ada programs) and MEGA/GLX (for 3D support), but
I hold the opinion that GCC and XFree86 supporting it internally would be
better than these 'add-ons'. :)

Any links or other info would be great.

Thanks,
Andy
