*** Changes since GDB 5.2:
+* ``gdbserver'' now supports multi-threaded applications on some targets
+
+Support for debugging multi-threaded applications which use
+the GNU/Linux LinuxThreads package has been added for
+arm*-*-linux*-gnu*, i[3456]86-*-linux*-gnu*, mips*-*-linux*-gnu*,
+powerpc*-*-linux*-gnu*, and sh*-*-linux*-gnu*.
+
+* GDB now supports C/C++ preprocessor macros.
+
+GDB now expands preprocessor macro invocations in C/C++ expressions,
+and provides various commands for showing macro definitions and how
+they expand.
+
+The new command `macro expand EXPRESSION' expands any macro
+invocations in expression, and shows the result.
+
+The new command `show macro MACRO-NAME' shows the definition of the
+macro named MACRO-NAME, and where it was defined.
+
+Most compilers don't include information about macros in the debugging
+information by default. In GCC 3.1, for example, you need to compile
+your program with the options `-gdwarf-2 -g3'. If the macro
+information is present in the executable, GDB will read it.
+
+* Multi-arched targets.
+
+DEC Alpha (partial) alpha*-*-*
+DEC VAX (partial) vax-*-*
+NEC V850 v850-*-*
+National Semiconductor NS32000 (partial) ns32k-*-*
+Motorola 68000 (partial) m68k-*-*
+Motorola MCORE mcore-*-*
+
+* New targets.
+
+Fujitsu FRV architecture added by Red Hat frv*-*-*
+
+
+* New native configurations
+
+Alpha NetBSD alpha*-*-netbsd*
+SH NetBSD sh*-*-netbsdelf*
+MIPS NetBSD mips*-*-netbsd*
+UltraSPARC NetBSD sparc64-*-netbsd*
+
+* OBSOLETE configurations and files
+
+Configurations that have been declared obsolete in this release have
+been commented out. Unless there is activity to revive these
+configurations, the next release of GDB will have their sources
+permanently REMOVED.
+
+Mitsubishi D30V d30v-*-*
+OS/9000 i[34]86-*-os9k
+Fujitsu FR30 fr30-*-elf*
+Motorola Delta 88000 running Sys V m88k-motorola-sysv or delta88
+Argonaut Risc Chip (ARC) arc-*-*
+
+* OBSOLETE languages
+
+CHILL, a Pascal like language used by telecommunications companies.
+
+* REMOVED configurations and files
+
+AMD 29k family via UDI a29k-amd-udi, udi29k
+A29K VxWorks a29k-*-vxworks
+AMD 29000 embedded, using EBMON a29k-none-none
+AMD 29000 embedded with COFF a29k-none-coff
+AMD 29000 embedded with a.out a29k-none-aout
+
+testsuite/gdb.hp/gdb.threads-hp/ directory
+
+* New command "set max-user-call-depth <nnn>"
+
+This command allows the user to limit the call depth of user-defined
+commands. The default is 1024.
+
+* Changes in FreeBSD/i386 native debugging.
+
+Support for the "generate-core-file" has been added.
+
* New commands "dump", "append", and "restore".
These commands allow data to be copied from target memory
to a bfd-format or binary file (dump and append), and back
from a file into memory (restore).
+*** Changes in GDB 5.2.1:
+
+* New targets.
+
+Atmel AVR avr*-*-*
+
+* Bug fixes
+
+gdb/182: gdb/323: gdb/237: On alpha, gdb was reporting:
+mdebugread.c:2443: gdb-internal-error: sect_index_data not initialized
+Fix, by Joel Brobecker imported from mainline.
+
+gdb/439: gdb/291: On some ELF object files, gdb was reporting:
+dwarf2read.c:1072: gdb-internal-error: sect_index_text not initialize
+Fix, by Fred Fish, imported from mainline.
+
+Dwarf2 .debug_frame & .eh_frame handler improved in many ways.
+Surprisingly enough, it works now.
+By Michal Ludvig, imported from mainline.
+
+i386 hardware watchpoint support:
+avoid misses on second run for some targets.
+By Pierre Muller, imported from mainline.
