                What has changed since GDB-3.5?
                (Organized release by release)
 
-*** Changes in GDB-???:
+*** Changes in GDB-4.11:
+
+* User visible changes:
+
+* Remote Debugging
+
+The "set remotedebug" option is now consistent between the mips remote
+target, remote targets using the gdb-specific protocol, UDI (AMD's
+debug protocol for the 29k) and the 88k bug monitor.  It is now an
+integer specifying a debug level (normally 0 or 1, but 2 means more
+debugging info for the mips target).
+
+* DEC Alpha native support
+
+GDB now works on the DEC Alpha.  GCC 2.4.5 does not produce usable
+debug info, but GDB works fairly well with the DEC compiler and should
+work with a future GCC release.  See the README file for a few
+Alpha-specific notes.
+
+* Preliminary thread implementation
+
+GDB now has preliminary thread support for both SGI/Irix and LynxOS.
+
+* LynxOS native and target support for 386
+
+This release has been hosted on LynxOS 2.2, and also can be configured
+to remotely debug programs running under LynxOS (see gdb/gdbserver/README
+for details).
+
+* Improvements in C++ mangling/demangling.
+
+This release has much better g++ debugging, specifically in name 
+mangling/demangling, virtual function calls, print virtual table,
+call methods, ...etc.

 Remote debugging using the GDB-specific (`target remote') protocol now

 Filename completion now works.
 
 When run under emacs mode, the "info line" command now causes the
 arrow to point to the line specified.  Also, "info line" prints

+ * DEC alpha support
