+ available in GDB/MI.
- * Improved support for accessing shared libraries directly from
- the target system when debugging remotely.
+* New convenience variables ($_gthread, $_inferior)
- * Various Guile and Python scripting improvements, including (but not
- limited to):
+* When hitting a breakpoint or receiving a signal while debugging a
+ multi-threaded program, the debugger now shows which thread triggered
+ the event.
- ** Support for auto-loading Python/Guile scripts contained
- in a special section named `.debug_gdb_scripts'.
+* Record btrace now supports non-stop mode.
- ** Support for writing a frame unwinder in Python.
+* Various improvements on AArch64 GNU/Linux
+ ** Multi-architecture debugging support
+ ** displaced stepping
+ ** tracepoint support added in GDBserver
- * Support for record-replay and reverse debugging on Aarch64 Linux.
+* kernel-based threads support on FreeBSD.
- * GDB now has support for fork events on extended-remote Linux targets
- (Linux kernels 2.5.60 and later).
+* Support for reading/writing memory and extracting values on architectures
+ whose memory is addressable in units of any integral multiple of 8 bits.
- * Support for DTrace USDT (Userland Static Defined Tracing) probes
- on x86_64 GNU/Linux targets.
+* In Ada, the overloads selection menu provides the parameter types and
+ return types for the matching overloaded subprograms.
- * Vector ABI support on S/390 GNU/Linux targets.
+* 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.
- * GDB now reads the GDBHISTSIZE environment variable rather than
- HISTSIZE to determine the size of GDB's command history.
+* Some minor improvements in the Python API for extending GDB.
- * Support for setting the parity when connecting to the target
- using a serial interface.
+* Support for various ROM monitors has been removed:
- * It is now possible to limit the number of candidates to be
- considered during completion.
-
- * Support for Sun's version of the "stabs" debug file format
- has been removed.
-
- * Support for the following targets and native configurations has
- been removed:
