+Release 7.12 of GDB, the GNU Debugger, is now available via anonymous
FTP. GDB is a source-level debugger for Ada, C, C++, Objective-C,
Pascal and many other languages. GDB can target (i.e., debug programs
running on) more than a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB

-GDB 7.11.1 brings the following fixes and enhancements over GDB 7.10:
+This version of GDB now builds with a C++ compiler by default.
+It is still possible to build GDB with a C compiler by simply
+configuring it with --disable-build-with-cxx. However, future
+release will require a C++ compiler to build GDB.

-GDB 7.11 brings new features and improvements, including:
+ * New target support: Andes NDS32 (nds32*-*-elf)
-* Per-inferior thread numbers (thread numbers are now per inferior instead
- of being global).
+ * Rust: Debugging programs written in Rust is now supported.
-* GDB now allows users to specify breakpoint locations using a more
- explicit syntax (named "explicit location"). This feature is also
- available in GDB/MI.
+ * Fortran: Support structures with fields of dynamic types and
+ arrays of dynamic types.
-* New convenience variables ($_gthread, $_inferior)
+ * Various Python enhancements (new convenience functions,
+ enhanced support for breakpoints).
-* When hitting a breakpoint or receiving a signal while debugging a
- multi-threaded program, the debugger now shows which thread triggered
- the event.
+ * Various GDBserver enhancements:
-* Record btrace now supports non-stop mode.
+ ** btrace recording without maintaining an active GDB connection.
+ ** tracepoints and fast tracepoints support added on s390-linux,
+ s390x-linux, powerpc64-linux, and powerpc64le-linux.
-* Various improvements on AArch64 GNU/Linux
- ** Multi-architecture debugging support
- ** displaced stepping
- ** tracepoint support added in GDBserver
+ * Support for the following remote target protocols and ROM monitors
+ has been removed:
-* kernel-based threads support on FreeBSD.
-
-* Support for reading/writing memory and extracting values on architectures
- whose memory is addressable in units of any integral multiple of 8 bits.
-
-* In Ada, the overloads selection menu provides the parameter types and
- return types for the matching overloaded subprograms.
-
-* Various remote protocol improvements, including several new packets
- which can be used to support features such as follow-exec-mode, exec
- catchpoints, syscall catchpoints, etc.
-
-* Some minor improvements in the Python API for extending GDB.
-
-* Support for various ROM monitors has been removed:
-
- target dbug dBUG ROM monitor for Motorola ColdFire
- target picobug Motorola picobug monitor
- target dink32 DINK32 ROM monitor for PowerPC
- target m32r Renesas M32R/D ROM monitor
- target mon2000 mon2000 ROM monitor
- target ppcbug PPCBUG ROM monitor for PowerPC
+ target m32rsdi Remote M32R debugging over SDI
+ target mips MIPS remote debugging protocol
+ target pmon PMON ROM monitor
+ target ddb NEC's DDB variant of PMON for Vr4300
+ target rockhopper NEC RockHopper variant of PMON
+ target lsi LSI variant of PMO
