*** Changes since GDB 6.7
+* Change in command line behavior -- corefiles vs. process ids.
+
+ When the '-p NUMBER' or '--pid NUMBER' options are used, and
+ attaching to process NUMBER fails, GDB no longer attempts to open a
+ core file named NUMBER. Attaching to a program using the -c option
+ is no longer supported. Instead, use the '-p' or '--pid' options.
+
* New commands
set print frame-arguments (all|scalars|none)
including breakpoints on C++ constructors, inside C++ templates,
and in inlined functions.
+* GDB's ability to debug optimized code has been improved. GDB more
+accurately identifies function bodies and lexical blocks that occupy
+more than one contiguous range of addresses.
+
* Target descriptions can now describe registers for PowerPC.
* The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now supports the AltiVec and SPE
* The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now supports thread debugging on GNU/Linux
targets even when the libthread_db library is not available.
+* The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now supports the new file transfer
+commands (remote put, remote get, and remote delete).
+
* hppa*64*-*-hpux11* target broken
The debugger is unable to start a program and fails with the following
error: "Error trying to get information about dynamic linker".
building a single GDB executable that supports multiple remote
target architectures.
+* New commands
+
+remote put
+remote get
+remote delete
+ Transfer files to and from a remote target, and delete remote files.
+
+* New MI commands
+
+-target-file-put
+-target-file-get
+-target-file-delete
+ Transfer files to and from a remote target, and delete remote files.
+
+* New remote packets
+
+vFile:open:
+vFile:close:
+vFile:pread:
+vFile:pwrite:
+vFile:unlink:
+ Open, close, read, write, and delete files on the remote system.
