* New machines supported (target)

- * Improved ELF and DWARF support
+ * C++ stuff
+
+Improvements have been made in the way GDB handles C++ references. The
+demangler has also been improved, and now deals with symbols mangled as
+per the Annotated C++ Reference Guide. GDB also now handles stabs embedded in
+MIPS symbol tables (which was the only way to get C++ debugging info into MIPS
+binaries). This will become useful in a future version of G++.
+
+ * New features for SVR4
+
+The `info process' command will print out process information.
+
+Better shared library support for SVR4 and SunOS.

GDB can read ELF object files on System V Release 4, and can handle
debugging records for C, in DWARF format, in ELF files. This support

send mail to bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu to let us know what changes were
reqired (if any).
- * New Readline
+ * New Getopt
-GDB now uses the latest `readline' library. One user-visible change
-is that two tabs will list possible command completions, which previously
-required typing M-? (meta-question mark, or ESC ?).
+GDB is now using the latest `getopt' routines from the FSF. This version
+now accepts the -- prefix for options with long names. Note that gdb will
+continue to accept the old format as well. Also, various single letter
+abbreviations for options have been explicity added to the option table so that

+***FIXME * Bugs fixed
The `stepi' bug that many of you noticed has been squashed.
Many bugs in C++ have been handled. Many more remain to be handled.
