Subject: [PATCH] gdb/NEWS: reorder some entries in the NEWS file
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:31:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b73f5e54bcbd1e1c20336edba24b3b4ac86567ed.1695994205.git.aburgess@redhat.com> (raw)


I spotted two entries in the NEWS file that I believe are in the wrong
place, these are:

  - An entry about MI v1 being deprecated, this feels like it should
    be the first entry under the 'MI changes' heading, and

  - An entry for the $_shell convenience function which is currently
    under the 'New commands' heading (sort of), when I think this
    should be listed in the general news section.

---

I've CC'd the authors of the two pieces I've moved in case they
object, otherwise I'll push this in a few days.

Thanks,
Andrew
