*** Changes since GDB 7.2
+* Python scripting
+
+ ** GDB values in Python are now callable if the value represents a
+ function. For example, if 'some_value' represents a function that
+ takes two integer parameters and returns a value, you can call
+ that function like so:
+
+ result = some_value (10,20)
+
* GDB now has some support for using labels in the program's source in
linespecs. For instance, you can use "advance label" to continue
execution to a label.
