GDB 7.0

    * Reverse debugging: GDB now has new commands reverse-continue,
      reverse-step, reverse-next, reverse-finish, reverse-stepi,
      reverse-nexti, and set execution-direction {forward|reverse},
      for targets that support reverse execution.

    * Support for debugging applications on hybrid systems that use
      more than one single processor architecture at the same time.
      (eg the CELL processor in the PS3).

    * Support for scripting using Python.  New GDB commands can now be
      written in Python.

    * The "disassemble" command now supports an optional /m modifier
      to print mixed source+assembly.

    * Inlined functions are now supported.  They show up in
      backtraces, and the "step", "next", and "finish" commands handle
      them automatically.

    * GDB now supports automatic retrieval of shared library files
      from remote targets.
