 *** Changes since GDB 5.2:
 
+* GDB now supports C/C++ preprocessor macros.
+
+GDB now expands preprocessor macro invocations in C/C++ expressions,
+and provides various commands for showing macro definitions and how
+they expand.
+
+Most compilers don't include information about macros in the debugging
+information by default.  In GCC 3.1, for example, you need to compile
+your program with the options `-gdwarf-2 -g3'.  If the macro
+information is present in the executable, GDB will read it.
+
+Here are the new commands for working with macros:
+
+** macro expand EXPRESSION
+
+Expand any macro invocations in expression, and show the result.
+
+** show macro MACRO-NAME
+
+Show the definition of the macro named MACRO-NAME, and where it was
+defined.
+
+* Multi-arched targets.
+
+NEC V850					v850-*-*
+
+* New targets.
+
+Atmel AVR					avr*-*-*
+
+* New native configurations
+
+Alpha NetBSD					alpha*-*-netbsd*
+SH NetBSD					sh*-*-netbsdelf*
+
+* OBSOLETE configurations and files
+
+Configurations that have been declared obsolete in this release have
+been commented out.  Unless there is activity to revive these
+configurations, the next release of GDB will have their sources
+permanently REMOVED.
+
+* REMOVED configurations and files
+
+AMD 29k family via UDI				a29k-amd-udi, udi29k
+A29K VxWorks					a29k-*-vxworks
+AMD 29000 embedded, using EBMON			a29k-none-none
+AMD 29000 embedded with COFF			a29k-none-coff
+AMD 29000 embedded with a.out			a29k-none-aout
+
+testsuite/gdb.hp/gdb.threads-hp/		directory
+
+* Changes in VAX configurations.
+
+Multi-arch support is enabled for all VAX configurations.
+
+* Changes in Alpha configurations. 
+
+Multi-arch support is enabled for all Alpha configurations.
+
+* New command "set max-user-call-depth <nnn>"
+
+This command allows the user to limit the call depth of user-defined
+commands.  The default is 1024.
+
+* Changes in FreeBSD/i386 native debugging.
+
+Support for the "generate-core-file" has been added.
+
 * New commands "dump", "append", and "restore".
 
 These commands allow data to be copied from target memory
