                What has changed in GDB?

+* Debugging MS-Windows processes now sets $_exitsignal when the

   This feature is still in testing, so it is disabled by default.  You
   can turn it on using 'maint set worker-threads unlimited'.
 
+* Multi-target debugging support
+
+  GDB now supports debugging multiple target connections
+  simultaneously.  For example, you can now have each inferior
+  connected to different remote servers running in different machines,
+  or have one inferior debugging a local native process, an inferior
+  debugging a core dump, etc.
+
+  This support is experimental and comes with some limitations -- you
+  can only resume multiple targets simultaneously if all targets
+  support non-stop mode, and all remote stubs or servers must support
+  the same set of remote protocol features exactly.  See also "info
+  connections" and "add-inferior -no-connection" below, and "maint set
+  target-non-stop" in the user manual.
