* New features in the GDB remote stub, GDBserver
- - GDBserver now support tracepoints. The feature is currently
- supported by the i386-linux and amd64-linux builds.
+ - GDBserver now support tracepoints (including fast tracepoints).
+ The feature is currently supported by the i386-linux and
+ amd64-linux builds. See the "Tracepoints support in gdbserver"
+ section in the manual for more information.
- GDBserver now supports x86_64 Windows 64-bit debugging.
