Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] GDB 8.1 released!

[Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>]

Hi all,

Congrats everyone!  This is a really great release.
I'm excited by a lot of things in here.  Lots of usability
improvements, optimizations and new features, etc.  There's
something for everybody.

And I'm also excited by the things already starting to cook
up for the next release too!

Thanks Joel for handling the release, as usual.

While we're on to spring cleaning the announcements, Pascal and Objective-C
support hasn't really seen much (any?) development in a while, and I'm
not really sure they're really that much used.  I'd consider mentioning
instead (or in addition) other more active languages, like Rust, maybe
Fortran and Go, for example.

Thanks,
