FYI,

The news file currently contains the below.  I suspect that a lot is
missing.  If you're a maintainer just check the addition in.  If not,
please post a patch.

*** Changes since GDB-4.18:

* New features

On SVR4 native platforms (such as Solaris), if you attach to a process
without first loading a symbol file, GDB will now attempt to locate and
load symbols from the running process's executable file.

* New native configurations

ARM GNU/Linux					arm*-*-linux*

* New targets

Motorola MCore					mcore-*-*
x86 VxWorks					i[3456]86-*-vxworks*
PowerPC VxWorks					powerpc-*-vxworks*
TI TMS320C80					tic80-*-*

* OBSOLETE configurations

Altos 3068					m68*-altos-*
Convex						c1-*-*, c2-*-*
Pyramid						pyramid-*-*
ARM RISCix					arm-*-* (as host)
Tahoe						tahoe-*-*

* Remote targets can connect to a sub-program

A popen(3) style serial-device has been added.  This device starts a
sub-process (such as a stand-alone simulator) and then communicates
with that.  The sub-program to run is specified using the syntax
``|<program> <args>'' vis:

	(gdb) set remotedebug 1
	(gdb) target extended-remote |mn10300-elf-sim program-args

* MIPS 64 remote protocol

A long standing bug in the mips64 remote protocol where by GDB
expected certain 32 bit registers (ex SR) to be transfered as 32
instead of 64 bits has been fixed.

The command ``set remote-mips64-transfers-32bit-regs on'' has been
added to provide backward compatibility with older versions of GDB.

* ``set remotebinarydownload'' replaced by ``set remote X-packet''

The command ``set remotebinarydownload'' command has been replaced by
``set remote X-packet''.  Other commands in ``set remote'' family
include ``set remote P-packet''.

* Breakpoint commands accept ranges.

The breakpoint commands ``enable'', ``disable'', and ``delete'' now
accept a range of breakpoints, e.g. ``5-7''.  The tracepoint command
``tracepoint passcount'' also accepts a range of tracepoints.
