Re: [RFA] Update NEWS for v5.1


About Pascal language addition in NEWS.


What about adding this text in front of the missing features ?

* Partial support for debugging Pascal programs.

  Support for pascal language is partially included
  Available features are:
-- Support for pascal specific types like sets.
-- Automatic recognition of pascal sources based on standard extensions
-- Pascal like display of types, variables and functions
-- Pascal expression parser
  However many important features are not yetsupported.
A partial list of problems:
+
+    - Pascal string operations are not supported at all.
+
+    - There are some problems with boolean types.
+
+    - Pascal type hexadecimal constants are not supported
+      because they conflict with the internal variables format.
+
        - Pascal Objects and Classes are not fully supported.

        - Symbol case insensitiveness not supported.
