*** Changes since GDB 7.8
+* On resume, GDB now always passes the signal the program had stopped
+ for to the thread the signal was sent to, even if the user changed
+ threads before resuming. Previously GDB would often (but not
+ always) deliver the signal to the thread that happens to be current
+ at resume time.
+
+* Conversely, the "signal" command now consistently delivers the
+ requested signal to the current thread. GDB now asks for
+ confirmation if the program had stopped for a signal and the user
+ switched threads meanwhile.
