   architecture supports the proper primitives and hooks.  Currently this is

+ ** '-break-condition --force'
+
+    The MI -break-condition command now supports a '--force' flag to
+    forcibly define a condition even when the condition is invalid at
+    all locations of the selected breakpoint.  This is equivalent to
+    the '-force' flag of the CLI's "cond" command.

+                                  [--] [REGEXP]'
+
+    The existing -file-list-exec-source-files command now takes an
+    optional REGEXP which is used to filter the source files that are
+    included in the results.
+
+    By default REGEXP is matched against the full filename of the
+    source file. When one of --basename or --dirname is given then
+    REGEXP is only matched against the specified part of the full
+    source filename.
+
+    When the optional --group-by-objfile flag is used the output
+    format is changed, the results are now a list of object files
+    (executable and libraries) with the source files that are
+    associated with each object file.
+
+    The results from -file-list-exec-source-files now include a
+    'debug-fully-read' field which takes the value 'true' or 'false'.
+    A 'true' value indicates the source file is from a compilation
+    unit that has had its debug information fully read in by GDB, a
+    value of 'false' indicates GDB has only performed a partial scan
+    of the debug information so far.
