What has changed since GDB-3.5?
(Organized release by release)
-*** Changes in GDB-???:
+The "set remotedebug" option is now consistent between the mips remote
+target, remote targets using the gdb-specific protocol, 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).
+
+*** Changes in GDB-4.10:
* User visible changes:
Remote debugging using the GDB-specific (`target remote') protocol now
-supports the `load' command. This is only useful if you have some way
-of getting the stub to the target system, and putting it somewhere in
-memory where it won't get clobbered by the download.

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
-addresses in symbolic form.
+addresses in symbolic form (as well as hex).
All vxworks based targets now support a user settable option, called
vxworks-timeout. This option represents the number of seconds gdb
your vxworks target is, perhaps, a slow software simulator or happens
to be on the far side of a thin network line.
+ * DEC alpha support
+
+This release contains support for using a DEC alpha as a GDB host for
+cross debugging. Native alpha debugging is not supported yet.
