The newest release of gdb is now availible on prep in the file
gdb.tar-3.2.Z; the file dist-gdb.tar.Z is a symbolic link to this
file.  This file is 2.7Mb uncompressed (1.0Mb compressed).  Diffs
from version 3.1 are in the file gdb-3.1-3.2.diff.Z, and total 1.6Mb
uncompressed (641K compressed).  This release should be considered
beta test.  It includes both bug fixes and new features.  Some of
the new features are:

Command line editing, history substitution, and command and
symbol name completion with a <TAB>.  This facility is very
similar to the editing facility in Bash (GNU's Bourne Again
Shell), and is documented in the gdb manual.  This is enabled
by default.

Improved handling of floating point operations within gdb.

Examples of remote stubs for use with the gdb remote debugging
facilities.  

New ports to the Hewlett-Packard 9000/300 running 4.3 BSD,
the Convex, and the Sequent Symmetry.

Support for pretty printing structures (each element on a
separate line) and not printing union elements of structures.
These features are not enabled by default; enable them via
"set prettyprint on" and "set unionprint off".

Better C++ support.

Somewhat faster startup.

The problems with Gdb failing to understand the SunOS 4 type
descriptions should be fixed; if it isn't, please submit a bug
report. 

As usual, please report all bugs to bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu.
