 *** Changes since GDB 8.1
 
+* The 'symbol-file' command now accepts an '-o' option to add a relative
+  offset to all sections.
+
+* Similarly, the 'add-symbol-file' command also accepts an '-o' option to add
+  a relative offset to all sections, but it allows to override the load
+  address of individual sections using '-s'.
+
+* The 'add-symbol-file' command no longer requires the second argument
+  (address of the text section).
+
 * The endianness used with the 'set endian auto' mode in the absence of
   an executable selected for debugging is now the last endianness chosen
   either by one of the 'set endian big' and 'set endian little' commands
   or by inferring from the last executable used, rather than the startup
   default.
 
+* The pager now allows a "c" response, meaning to disable the pager
+  for the rest of the current command.
+
 * The commands 'info variables/functions/types' now show the source line
   numbers of symbol definitions when available.
