+
+init-if-undefined              Initialize a convenience variable, but
+                               only if it doesn't already have a value.
+
+The following commands are presently only implemented for native GNU/Linux:
+
+checkpoint                     Save a snapshot of the program state.
+
+restart        <n>                     Return the program state to a 
+                               previously saved state.
+
+info checkpoints               List currently saved checkpoints.
+
+delete-checkpoint <n>          Delete a previously saved checkpoint.
+
+set|show detach-on-fork                Tell gdb whether to detach from a newly
+                               forked process, or to keep debugging it.
+
+info forks                     List forks of the user program that
+                               are available to be debugged.
+
+fork <n>                       Switch to debugging one of several
+                               forks of the user program that are
+                               available to be debugged.
+
+delete-fork <n>                        Delete a fork from the list of forks
+                               that are available to be debugged (and
+                               kill the forked process).
+
+detach-fork <n>                        Delete a fork from the list of forks
+                               that are available to be debugged (and
+                               allow the process to continue).

+--eval-command COMMAND, -ex COMMAND
+                               Execute a single GDB CLI command. This may be

+* New "set print array-indexes" command
+
+After turning this setting "on", GDB prints the index of each element
+when displaying arrays.  The default is "off" to preserve the previous
+behavior.
+
+* VAX floating point support
+
+GDB now supports the not-quite-ieee VAX F and D floating point formats.
+
+* User-defined command support
+
+In addition to using $arg0..$arg9 for argument passing, it is now possible
+to use $argc to determine now many arguments have been passed.  See the
+section on user-defined commands in the user manual for more information.
