-@ifset NOVEL
-@node New Features
-@unnumbered New Features since GDB Version 3.5
-
-@table @emph
-@item Targets
-Using the new command @code{target}, you can select at runtime whether
-you are debugging local files, local processes, standalone systems over
-a serial port, or realtime systems over a TCP/IP connection.  The
-command @code{load} can download programs into a remote system.  Serial
-stubs are available for Motorola 680x0, Intel 80386, and Sparc remote
-systems; GDB also supports debugging realtime processes running under
-VxWorks, using SunRPC Remote Procedure Calls over TCP/IP to talk to a
-debugger stub on the target system.  Internally, GDB now uses a function
-vector to mediate access to different targets; if you need to add your
-own support for a remote protocol, this makes it much easier.
-
-@item Watchpoints
-GDB now sports watchpoints as well as breakpoints.  You can use a
-watchpoint to stop execution whenever the value of an expression
-changes, without having to predict a particular place in your program
-where this may happen.
-
-@item Wide Output
-Commands that issue wide output now insert newlines at places designed
-to make the output more readable.
-
-@item Object Code Formats
-GDB uses a new library called the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) Library
-to permit it to switch dynamically, without reconfiguration or
-recompilation, between different object-file formats.  Formats currently
-supported are COFF, ELF, a.out, Intel 960 b.out, MIPS ECOFF, HPPA SOM
-(with stabs debugging), and S-records; files may be read as .o files,
-archive libraries, or core dumps.  BFD is available as a subroutine
-library so that other programs may take advantage of it, and the other
-GNU binary utilities are being converted to use it.
-
-@item Configuration and Ports
-Compile-time configuration (to select a particular architecture and
-operating system) is much easier.  The script @code{configure} now
-allows you to configure GDB as either a native debugger or a
-cross-debugger. @xref{Installing GDB}, for details on how to
-configure.
-
-@item Interaction
-The user interface to the GDB control variables is simpler,
-and is consolidated in two commands, @code{set} and @code{show}.  Output
-lines are now broken at readable places, rather than overflowing onto
-the next line.  You can suppress output of machine-level addresses,
-displaying only source language information.
-
-@item C++
-GDB now supports C++ multiple inheritance (if used with a GCC
-version 2 compiler), and also has limited support for C++ exception
-handling, with the commands @code{catch} and @code{info catch}: GDB
-can break when an exception is raised, before the stack is peeled back
-to the exception handler's context.
-
-@ifset MOD2
-@item Modula-2
-GDB now has preliminary support for the GNU Modula-2 compiler, currently
-under development at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
-Coordinated development of both GDB and the GNU Modula-2 compiler will
-continue.  Other Modula-2 compilers are currently not supported, and
-attempting to debug programs compiled with them will likely result in an
-error as the symbol table of the executable is read in.
-@end ifset
-
-@item Command Rationalization
-Many GDB commands have been renamed to make them easier to remember
-and use.  In particular, the subcommands of @code{info} and
-@code{show}/@code{set} are grouped to make the former refer to the state
-of your program, and the latter refer to the state of GDB itself.
-@xref{Renamed Commands}, for details on what commands were renamed.
-
-@item Shared Libraries
-GDB 4 can debug programs and core files that use SunOS, SVR4, or IBM RS/6000
-shared libraries.
-
-@item Threads
-On some systems, GDB 4 has facilities to debug multi-thread programs.
-
-@item Reference Card
-GDB 4 has a reference card.  @xref{Formatting Documentation,,Formatting
