*** Changes since GDB 6.8
+* GDB now supports automatic retrieval of shared library files from
+remote targets. To use this feature, specify a system root that begins
+with the `remote:' prefix, either via the `set sysroot' command or via
+the `--with-sysroot' configure-time option.
+
* Commands `set debug-file-directory', `set solib-search-path' and `set args'
now complete on file names.
