** gdb.Breakpoint objects have a new attribute "pending", which
indicates whether the breakpoint is pending.
+signal-event EVENTID
+ Signal ("set") the given MS-Windows event object. This is used in
+ conjunction with the Windows JIT debugging (AeDebug) support, where
+ the OS suspends a crashing process until a debugger can attach to
+ it. Resuming the crashing process, in order to debug it, is done by
+ signalling an event.

* Support for tracepoints and fast tracepoints on s390-linux and s390x-linux
was added in GDBserver, including JIT compiling fast tracepoint's
conditional expression bytecode into native code.
