*** Changes since GDB 7.4
+* GDB now has support for SDT (Static Defined Tracing) probes. Currently,
+ the only implemented backend is for SystemTap probes (<sys/sdt.h>). You
+ can set a breakpoint using the new "-probe, "-pstap" or "-probe-stap"
+ options and inspect the probe arguments using the new $_probe_arg family
+ of convenience variables. You can obtain more information about SystemTap
+ in <http://sourceware.org/systemtap/>.

* GDB now supports reversible debugging on ARM, it allows you to
debug basic ARM and THUMB instructions, and provides
record/replay support.

+ of the underlying symbol table, respectively.
+

+ GDB now supports debugging programs written in the Go programming
+ language.
