*** Changes since GDB 6.0:
+* New C++ demangler
+
+GDB has a new C++ demangler which does a better job on the mangled
+names generated by current versions of g++. It also runs faster, so
+with this and other changes gdb should now start faster on large C++
+programs.
+
+* DWARF 2 Location Expressions
+
+GDB support for location expressions has been extended to support function
+arguments and frame bases. Older versions of GDB could crash when they
+encountered these.
+
* New native configurations
NetBSD/amd64 x86_64-*-netbsd*

tested, nor mentioned in the NEWS file.
+* 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.
