 *** Changes since GDB 7.1
 
+* Windows Thread Information Block access.
+
+  On Windows targets, GDB now supports displaying the Windows Thread
+  Information Block (TIB) structure.  This structure is visible either
+  by using the new command `info w32 thread-information-block' or, by
+  dereferencing the new convenience variable named `$_tlb', a
+  thread-specific pointer to the TIB.  This feature is also supported
+  when remote debugging using GDBserver.
+
+* New remote packets
+
+qGetTIBAddr
+
+  Return the address of the Windows Thread Information Block of a given thread.
+
+* The source command now accepts a -s option to force searching for the
+  script in the source search path even if the script name specifies
+  a directory.
+
+* New features in the GDB remote stub, GDBserver
+
+  - GDBserver now support tracepoints.  The feature is currently
+    supported by the i386-linux and amd64-linux builds.
+
+* GDB now sends xmlRegisters= in qSupported packet to indicate that
+  it understands register description.
+
 * The --batch flag now disables pagination and queries.
 
 * X86 general purpose registers

+* The `commands' command now accepts a range of breakpoints to modify.
+  A plain `commands' following a command that creates multiple
+  breakpoints affects all the breakpoints set by that command.  This
+  applies to breakpoints set by `rbreak', and also applies when a
+  single `break' command creates multiple breakpoints (e.g.,
+  breakpoints on overloaded c++ functions).
+
+* New commands
+
+save breakpoints <filename>
+  Save all current breakpoint definitions to a file suitable for use
+  in a later debugging session.  To read the saved breakpoint
+  definitions, use the `source' command.
+
+`save tracepoints' is a new alias for `save-tracepoints'.  The latter
+is now deprecated.

 * Python scripting
 
-** The GDB Python API now has access to symbols, symbol tables, and
-   frame's code blocks.
+** The GDB Python API now has access to breakpoints, symbols, symbol

+** New functions gdb.target_charset, gdb.target_wide_charset,

-** New methods gdb.target_charset and gdb.target_wide_charset.
+** Pretty-printers are now also looked up in the current program space.
 
 * Tracepoint actions were unified with breakpoint commands. In particular,
 there are no longer differences in "info break" output for breakpoints and
