+* GDB and GDBserver now require building with a C++ compiler.
+
+  It is no longer possible to build GDB or GDBserver with a C
+  compiler.  The --disable-build-with-cxx configure option has been
+  removed.
+
+* Support for thread names on MS-Windows.
+
+  GDB now catches and handles the special exception that programs
+  running on MS-Windows use to assign names to threads in the
+  debugger.

+*** Changes in GDB 7.12
+
+* GDB and GDBserver now build with a C++ compiler by default.
+
+  The --enable-build-with-cxx configure option is now enabled by
+  default.  One must now explicitly configure with
+  --disable-build-with-cxx in order to build with a C compiler.  This
+  option will be removed in a future release.
+
+* GDBserver now supports recording btrace without maintaining an active
+  GDB connection.
 
 * GDB now supports a negative repeat count in the 'x' command to examine
   memory backward from the given address.  For example:

 * Support for tracepoints and fast tracepoints on s390-linux and s390x-linux
