I will try to help with those. I just diffed 7.1 vs 7.2, and grepped for things like grep "add_" ... | grep "cmd" I've documented in the wiki the new commands that are missing an entry in news or in the manual. Here's a copy of what I placed there: * Missing in NEWS: o [Stan]: Tracepoint source strings, observer mode, corresponding commands and packets. $_thread. http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00325.html o [Joel]: $_thread. http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00353.html o set|show record memory-query. * Missing in NEWS and manual: o record pic o set|show record pic o set record pic hide-nofunction o set record pic hide-nosource o set record pic hide-sameaddr o set record pic type [Hui]: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-07/msg00033.html It appeared to me that for most commands and features there are already patches pending, except for "set|show record memory-query", if I'm not mistaken. Hui, what's the status of that patch? I've also diffed remote.c in both trees, and confirmed that all new packets are either already mentioned in NEWS, or the patches pointed at above already take care of mentioning them. Joel, I think you missed that Stan had already documented $_thread in his patch. I've no idea if both descriptions could be merged so we end up with a better description, or whether one of them ends up redundant. -- Pedro Alves
