*** Changes since GDB 8.3
+* 'thread-exited' event is now available in the annotations interface.
+
* New built-in convenience variables $_gdb_major and $_gdb_minor
provide the GDB version. They are handy for conditionally using
features available only in or since specific GDB versions, in
'array_indexes', 'symbols', 'unions', 'deref_refs', 'actual_objects',
'static_members', 'max_elements', 'repeat_threshold', and 'format'.
+ ** gdb.Type has a new property 'objfile' which returns the objfile the
+ type was defined in.
+
+* New built-in convenience variables $_shell_exitcode and $_shell_exitsignal
+ provide the exitcode or exit status of the shell commands launched by
+ GDB commands such as "shell", "pipe" and "make".
+
* New commands
+| [COMMAND] | SHELL_COMMAND
+| -d DELIM COMMAND DELIM SHELL_COMMAND
+pipe [COMMAND] | SHELL_COMMAND
+pipe -d DELIM COMMAND DELIM SHELL_COMMAND
+ Executes COMMAND and sends its output to SHELL_COMMAND.

+* Changed commands
+
+help
+ The "help" command uses the title style to enhance the
+ readibility of its output by styling the classes and
+ command names.
+
+apropos [-v] REGEXP
+ Similarly to "help", the "apropos" command also uses the
+ title style for the command names. "apropos" accepts now
+ a flag "-v" (verbose) to show the full documentation
+ of matching commands and to use the highlight style to mark
+ the documentation parts matching REGEXP.
+
+show style
+ The "show style" and its subcommands are now styling
+ a style name in their output using its own style, to help
+ the user visualize the different styles.
