+  support for several language features, such as templates, constructors,
+  and operators.
+
+  This feature requires GCC 7.1 or higher built with libcp1.so
+  (the C++ plug-in).
+
 * GDB and GDBserver now support IPv6 connections.  IPv6 addresses
   can be passed using the '[ADDRESS]:PORT' notation, or the regular
   'ADDRESS:PORT' method.
