*** Changes since GDB 5.3:
+* MIPS $fp behavior changed
+
+The convenience variable $fp, for the MIPS, now consistently returns
+the address of the current frame's base. Previously, depending on the
+context, $fp could refer to either $sp or the current frame's base
+address. See ``8.10 Registers'' in the manual ``Debugging with GDB:
+The GNU Source-Level Debugger''.

*** Changes in GDB 5.3:
* ``gdbserver'' now supports multi-threaded applications on some targets
