 *** Changes since GDB 6.1:
 
+* New ``start'' command.
+
+This command runs the program until the begining of the main procedure.
+
+* Signal trampoline code overhauled
+
+Many generic problems with GDB's signal handling code have been fixed.
+These include: backtraces through non-contiguous stacks; recognition
+of sa_sigaction signal trampolines; backtrace from a NULL pointer
+call; backtrace through a signal trampoline; step into and out of
+signal handlers; and single-stepping in the signal trampoline.
+
+These fixes were tested on i386 GNU/Linux systems that include a 2.4
+kernel.
+
+* Cygwin support for DWARF 2 added.
+
+* Fixed build problem on IRIX 5
+
+Due to header problems with <sys/proc.h>, the file gdb/proc-api.c
+wasn't able to compile compile on an IRIX 5 system.
+
+* Added execute permission to gdb/gdbserver/configure
+
+The shell script gdb/testsuite/gdb.stabs/configure lacked execute
+permission.  This bug would cause configure to fail on a number of
+systems (Solaris, IRIX).  Ref: server/519.
+
 * New native configurations
