(requires MPFR 3.1 or later);
* Various Python Scripting enhancements;

when debugging Rust code;
* GDB no longer makes assumptions about the type of symbols without
debugging information to avoid producing erroneous and often confusing
results;

locations;
* New 'starti' command to start the program at the first instruction;
* New 'rbreak' command to insert a number of breakpoints via a regular

the fields in a struct;
* The 'gcore' command now supports dumping all the memory mappings
('-a' command-line option);

* GDBserver enhancements:
** Support for transmitting environment variables to GDBserver;
** Support for starting inferior processes with a specified initial
working directory;
** On Unix systems, support for globbing expansion and variable
substitution of inferior command-line arguments;
* Various completion enhancements;
* The command used to compile and inject code with the 'compile' command
is now configurable;

debugging information is not needed;
* Support for the following new native configurations:
** FreeBSD/aarch64 (aarch64*-*-freebsd*);
** FreeBSD/arm (arm*-*-freebsd*);
* Support for the following new targets:
** FreeBSD/aarch64 (aarch64*-*-freebsd*);
