GDB 5.0 is released!

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb/5

Version 5.0 of GDB, the GNU Debugger, is now available via anonymous
FTP. GDB is a source-level debugger for C, C++, and many other
languages. GDB can target (i.e. debug programs running on) dozens of
different processor architectures, and GDB itself can run on most
popular Unix variants, Windows NT, and Windows 95. 

You can download GDB from either Project GNU's FTP server, or Red Hat's
sources site: 

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb
	(mirrors: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html )
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gdb/releases/
	(mirrors: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/mirrors.html )

The previous version, 4.18, was released about a year ago; there have
been many changes and additions since then. Details are listed in the
GDB NEWS file ( http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb/5/NEWS ).

There is a web page for GDB at: 

       http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb/ 

That page includes information about GDB mailing lists (an announcement
mailing list, developers discussion lists, etc.), details on how to
access GDB's CVS repository, locations for development snapshots,
preformatted documentation, and links to related information around the
net. We will put errata notes and host-specific tips for this release
on-line as any problems come up. All mailing lists archives are also
browsable via the web. 

The documentation from GDB version 5 is also available online.
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb/5/onlinedocs/ .

Many people have contributed to this release. Thanks to everybody for
the help! 

Keep those fixes and improvements coming in! (Send them to gdb-patches
at sourceware.cygnus.com)
