*** Changes since GDB 7.2
+* GDB has a new command: "thread find [REGEXP]".
+ It finds the thread id whose name, target id, or thread extra info
+ matches the given regular expression.
+
* The "catch syscall" command now works on mips*-linux* targets.
* The -data-disassemble MI command now supports modes 2 and 3 for
* Python scripting
+ ** Parameters can now be be sub-classed in Python, and in particular
+ you may implement the get_set_doc and get_show_doc functions.
+ This improves how Parameter set/show documentation is processed
+ and allows for more dynamic content.
+
+ ** Symbols, Symbol Table, Symbol Table and Line, Object Files,
+ Inferior, Inferior Thread, Blocks, and Block Iterator APIs now
+ have an is_valid method.
+
+ ** Breakpoints can now be sub-classed in Python, and in particular
+ you may implement a 'stop' function that is executed each time
+ the inferior reaches that breakpoint.
+
+ ** New function gdb.lookup_global_symbol looks up a global symbol.
+
** GDB values in Python are now callable if the value represents a
function. For example, if 'some_value' represents a function that
takes two integer parameters and returns a value, you can call
** The gdb.InferiorThread class has a new "name" attribute. This
holds the thread's name.
+ ** Python Support for Inferior events.
+ Python scripts can add observers to be notified of events
+ occurring in the process being debugged.
+ The following events are currently supported:
+ - gdb.events.cont Continue event.
+ - gdb.events.exited Inferior exited event.
+ - gdb.events.stop Signal received, and Breakpoint hit events.
+
* C++ Improvements:
** GDB now puts template parameters in scope when debugging in an
