*** Changes since GDB 6.8
+* Tracepoints may now be conditional. The syntax is as for
+breakpoints; either an "if" clause appended to the "trace" command,
+or the "condition" command is available. GDB sends the condition to
+the target for evaluation using the same bytecode format as is used
+for tracepoint actions.
+
* "disassemble" command with a /r modifier, print the raw instructions
in hex as well as in symbolic form."
