*** Changes since GDB 7.2
+* GDB now has some support for using labels in the program's source in
+ linespecs. For instance, you can use "advance label" to continue
+ execution to a label.
+
+* GDB now has support for reading and writing a new .gdb_index
+ section. This section holds a fast index of DWARF debugging
+ information and can be used to greatly speed up GDB startup and
+ operation. See the documentation for `save gdb-index' for details.
