+* Internationalization
+
+When supported by the host system, GDB will be built with
+internationalization (libintl). The task of marking up the sources is
+continued, we're looking forward to our first translation.
+
* Ada
Initial support for debugging programs compiled with the GNAT
implementation of the Ada programming language has been integrated
into GDB. In this release, support is limited to expression evaluation.
+* New native configurations
+
+GNU/Linux/m32r m32r-*-linux-gnu
+
+* Remote 'p' packet
+
+GDB's remote protocol now includes support for the 'p' packet. This
+packet is used to fetch individual registers from a remote inferior.
+
+* END-OF-LIFE registers[] compatibility module
+
+GDB's internal register infrastructure has been completely rewritten.
+The new infrastructure making possible the implementation of key new
+features including 32x64 (e.g., 64-bit amd64 GDB debugging a 32-bit
+i386 application).
+
+GDB 6.3 will be the last release to include the the registers[]
+compatibility module that allowed out-of-date configurations to
+continue to work. This change directly impacts the following
+configurations:
+
+hppa-*-hpux
+ia64-*-aix
+mips-*-irix*
+*-*-lynx
+mips-*-linux-gnu
+sds protocol
+xdr protocol
+powerpc bdm protocol
+
+Unless there is activity to revive these configurations, they will be
+made OBSOLETE in GDB 6.4, and REMOVED from GDB 6.5.
+
+* 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.
