* New machines supported (target)
AMD 29000 embedded, using EBMON a29k-none-none
* 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.
Info proc, improved SVR4, shared libs
***FIXME * Improved ELF and DWARF support
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
they won't get overshadowed in the future by other options that begin with the
same letter.
* Bugs fixed
***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.
See the various ChangeLog files (primarily in gdb and bfd) for details.
