Re: NEWS entries for 6.1.1 dwarf changes?


   Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 00:34:03 -0400
   From: Andrew Cagney <cagney@gnu.org>

Hello,

These 6.1.1 changes need a NEWS entry, anyone?

2004-05-01 Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>

	   * dwarf2-frame.c (read_encoded_value): Handle DW_EH_PE_funcrel
	   encondings.  Fixes PR gdb/1628.

Would that be really useful?  This stuff is mentioned in the
ChangeLog.

Yes. The NEWS entries, included in the 6.1.1 announcement, tell the user know what was fixed (not how). Conversely, the ChangeLog (as it should) tells us what was changed, not why.

Committed to the branch,
