*** Changes since GDB 9
+* Help and apropos commands will now show the documentation of a
+ command only once, even if that command has one or more aliases.
+ These commands now show the command name, then all of its aliases,
+ and finally the description of the command.
+
+* 'help aliases' now shows only the user defined aliases. GDB predefined
+ aliases are shown together with their aliased command.
+
* GDB now supports debuginfod, an HTTP server for distributing ELF/DWARF
debugging information as well as source code.
set exec-file-mismatch -- Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
show exec-file-mismatch -- Show exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
- Set or show the option 'exec-file-mismatch'. When GDB attaches to
- a running process and can determine the name of the executable file
- the process runs, this new option indicates whether to detect mismatch
- between the name of the current executable file loaded by GDB
- and the name of the executable file used to start the process.
- If 'ask', the default, display a warning and ask the user
- whether to load the process executable file; if 'warn', just display
- a warning; if 'off', don't attempt to detect a mismatch.

tui new-layout NAME WINDOW WEIGHT [WINDOW WEIGHT]...
Define a new TUI layout, specifying its name and the windows that
** gdb.register_window_type can be used to implement new TUI windows
in Python.
+ ** Dynamic types can now be queried. gdb.Type has a new attribute,
+ "dynamic", and gdb.Type.sizeof can be None for a dynamic type. A
+ field of a dynamic type may have None for its "bitpos" attribute
+ as well.
+
+ ** Commands written in Python can be in the "TUI" help class by
+ registering with the new constant gdb.COMMAND_TUI.
