Do I understand this correctly?

Up until now, gcc implicitly assumed -march=i386 if nothing else
was specified by the user.

Now, it defaults to something different, so -mtune works
differently than it used to.

If both are correct, I have questions?

- With what version did/will gcc change?
  Corollary: In what Changelog of gcc can I find out more?
  (Rather: which changelog can I point my coworkers to)
- What's the new default?

Thanks,
Tobias
