What has changed in GDB?
(Organized release by release)
+*** Changes since GDB-4.17:
+
+* GDB Remote protocol
+
+For 64 bit targets, the memory packets ("M" and "m") can now contain a
+full 64 bit address. The class-obscure gdb command:
+ set targetaddresssize 32
+can be used to revert to the old behavour. For existing remote stubs
+the change should not be noticed as the additional address information
+will be descarded.
