+
+ * Observer mode
+ * The remote protocol has been extended to include new packets;
+ * Shared library support enabled by default for remote targets;
+ * Windows Thread Information Block access;
+ * Improved support for remote debugging of Windows and SymbianOS
+ shared libraries;
+ * A new convience variable $_thread holding the current thread number;
+ * The --batch flag now disables pagination and queries;
