+ * C++ stuff

+Improvements have been made in the way GDB handles C++ references.  The
+demangler has also been improved, and now deals with symbols mangled as
+per the Annotated C++ Reference Guide.  GDB also now handles stabs embedded in
+MIPS symbol tables (which was the only way to get C++ debugging info into MIPS
+binaries).  This will become useful in a future version of G++.

 GDB can read ELF object files on System V Release 4, and can handle
 debugging records for C, in DWARF format, in ELF files.  This support

 send mail to bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu to let us know what changes were
 reqired (if any).
 
- * New Readline
+ * New Getopt
 
-GDB now uses the latest `readline' library.  One user-visible change
-is that two tabs will list possible command completions, which previously
-required typing M-? (meta-question mark, or ESC ?).
+GDB is now using the latest `getopt' routines from the FSF.  This version
+now accepts the -- prefix for options with long names.  Note that gdb will
+continue to accept the old format as well.  Also, various single letter
+abbreviations for options have been explicity added to the option table so that
+they won't get overshadowed in the future by other options that begin with the
+same letter.

 The `stepi' bug that many of you noticed has been squashed.
 Many bugs in C++ have been handled.  Many more remain to be handled.
