I'd be really interested to know a bit more about some of these. Anybody know what "non-stop" or "multi-inferior" debugging are? And what sort of benefit is gained from using multi-process debugging rather than having a separate gdb attached to each process? Anyway, sounds like an awesomely good release.

"non-stop" means that some or all of the threads in the process may be running while gdb is prompting the user for the next command. So for instance you may have one thread stop at a breakpoint, but the rest keep running. "Multi-inferior" means you can be debugging several different processes at once. I didn't work on this one personally so I can't say much about the benefits. But the work was paid for by a contractee, so obviously somebody thinks it is better. ;-0
