            GDB 7.10 released!

GDB 7.10 brings new targets, features and improvements, including:

   • Improved support for accessing shared libraries directly from the
     target system when debugging remotely.

   • Various Guile and Python scripting improvements, including (but not
     limited to):

     ◦ Support for auto-loading Python/Guile scripts contained in a
       special section named `.debug_gdb_scripts'.

     ◦ Support for writing a frame unwinder in Python.

   • Support for record-replay and reverse debugging on Aarch64 Linux.

   • GDB now has support for fork events on extended-remote Linux
     targets (Linux kernels 2.5.60 and later).

   • Support for DTrace USDT (Userland Static Defined Tracing) probes on
     x86_64 GNU/Linux targets.

   • Vector ABI support on S/390 GNU/Linux targets.

   • GDB now reads the GDBHISTSIZE environment variable rather than
     HISTSIZE to determine the size of GDB's command history.

   • Support for setting the parity when connecting to the target using
     a serial interface.

   • It is now possible to limit the number of candidates to be
     considered during completion.

   • Support for Sun's version of the ""stabs"" debug file format has been
     removed.

   • Support for the following targets and native configurations has
     been removed:

     ◦ HP/PA running HP-UX (hppa•-*-hpux*)
     ◦ Itanium running HP-UX (ia64-•-hpux*)

     Support for the ""-xdb"" command-line switch (HP-UX XDB compatibility
     mode) has also been removed.

For a complete list and more details on each item, please see the
gdb/NEWS file.
