Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is to announce that the DJGPP port of version 5.0 of the GNU
Debugger (GDB) package is available from SimTel.NET mirrors worldwide:

 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500b.zip
 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500a.zip
 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500s.zip
 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500d.zip
 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500s2.zip

 - gdb500b.zip includes gdb.exe and the docs.
 - gdb500a.zip includes the libraries (libbfd, libopcodes, libmmalloc, 
   libibert, and libgdb) which are produced as part of GDB build.  
 - gdb500d.zip includes HTML/DVI/PS docs.
 - gdb500s.zip includes the sources required for building the DJGPP 
   port of GDB.
 - gdb500s2.zip includes the rest of the source distribution which is 
   not required for building the DJGPP port.

GDB is a very powerful source-level debugger.

This release has no major new features as far as the DJGPP port is 
concerned, since all of the major improvements (much more 
reliable and flexible watchpoint support; FP code debugging; support for 
debugging programs which use signals, change working directories, and 
redirect standard handles; etc.) were already included in the DJGPP port 
of GDB 4.18.

One important change is that from now on, the official GDB distribution 
supports compilation with DJGPP out of the box.  All the scripts and 
configuration files required for the DJGPP build are included in the 
official GNU source distribution.

See the file NEWS for the full list of the new features.

Please direct any further discussions about this port to 
comp.os.msdos.djgpp news group (or write to its e-mail gateway 
djgpp AT delorie DOT com).
