** The "gdb.breakpoint" function has been deprecated in favor of
"gdb.breakpoints".
+ ** A new class "gdb.FinishBreakpoint" is provided to catch the return
+ of a function. This class is based on the "finish" command
+ available in the CLI.

** Type objects for struct and union types now allow access to
the fields using standard Python dictionary (mapping) methods.
For example, "some_type['myfield']" now works, as does
