14.1
This version of GDB includes the following changes and enhancements:
Removed features, removed configurations:
GDB no longer support AiX 4.x, 5.x and 6.x. The minimum version supported
is AiX 7.1.
GDB/MI version 1 support has been removed
Initial built-in support for Debugger Adapter Protocol (DAP)
GDB now recognizes the NO_COLOR environment variable
Initial support for integer types larger than 64 bits
Breakpoints can now be inferior-specific
New convenience function "$_shell", to execute a shell command and return its
result.
Python support
New class gdb.Thread
New class gdb.unwinder.FrameId
New class gdb.ValuePrinter
New gdb.Inferior.arguments attribute, holding the command-line arguments
to the inferior, if known
New gdb.Inferior.main_name attribute, holding the name of the inferior's
'main', if known.
New gdb.Breakpoint.inferior attribute
New gdb.Progspace.symbol_file attribute
New gdb.Progspace.executable_filename attribute
New function gdb.execute_mi(COMMAND, [ARG]...)
New function gdb.block_signals()
New method gdb.Frame.static_link
New gdb.Inferior 'clear_env', 'set_env' and 'unset_env' methods
New gdb.Type now has the 'is_array_like' and 'is_string_like' methods
New gdb.Value 'assign' method
New gdb.Value 'to_array' method
New gdb.Progspace 'objfile_for_address' method
New methods added to the gdb.PendingFrame class, with behavior which is
the same as the corresponding methods on gdb.Frame.
gdb.LazyString now implements the __str__ method
New event gdb.ThreadExitedEvent
New event gdb.ExecutableChangedEvent
New event gdb.NewProgspaceEvent
New event gdb.FreeProgspaceEvent
The frame-id passed to gdb.PendingFrame.create_unwind_info now use either
an integer or a gdb.Value object for each of its 'sp', 'pc', and
'special' attributes.
The Disassembler API from the gdb.disassembler module has been extended
to include styling support
gdb.parse_and_eval now has a new "global_context" parameter, allowing the
request to only examine global symbols.
The name argument passed to gdb.unwinder.Unwinder.__init__ must now be of
type 'str' otherwise a TypeError will be raised.
The gdb.unwinder.Unwinder.enabled attribute can now only accept values of
type 'bool'. Changing this attribute will now invalidate GDB's
frame-cache.
It is now no longer possible to sub-class the
gdb.disassembler.DisassemblerResult type.

'inferior' field for both the main breakpoint, and each location, when
the breakpoint is inferior-specific.
Trying to create a thread-specific breakpoint using a non-existent thread
ID now results in an error
New "simple-values-ref-types" -list-feature value indicating how the
--simple-values option in various commands take reference types into
account.

New '%V' output format for printf and dprintf commands.
The printf command now limits the size of strings fetched from the
inferior to the value of the 'max-value-size' setting.
