* Internationalization
When supported by the host system, GDB will be built with
internationalization (libintl). The task of marking up the sources is
continued, we're looking forward to our first translation.
* Ada
Initial support for debugging programs compiled with the GNAT
implementation of the Ada programming language has been integrated
into GDB. In this release, support is limited to expression evaluation.
* New native configurations
GNU/Linux/m32r m32r-*-linux-gnu
* Remote 'p' packet
GDB's remote protocol now includes support for the 'p' packet. This
packet is used to fetch individual registers from a remote inferior.
* END-OF-LIFE registers[] compatibility module
GDB's internal register infrastructure has been completely rewritten.
The new infrastructure making possible the implementation of key new
features including 32x64 (e.g., 64-bit amd64 GDB debugging a 32-bit
i386 application).
GDB 6.3 will be the last release to include the the registers[]
compatibility module that allowed out-of-date configurations to
continue to work. This change directly impacts the following
configurations:
hppa-*-hpux
ia64-*-aix
mips-*-irix*
*-*-lynx
mips-*-linux-gnu
sds protocol
xdr protocol
powerpc bdm protocol
Unless there is activity to revive these configurations, they will be
made OBSOLETE in GDB 6.4, and REMOVED from GDB 6.5.
* OBSOLETE configurations and files
Configurations that have been declared obsolete in this release have
been commented out. Unless there is activity to revive these
configurations, the next release of GDB will have their sources
permanently REMOVED.
