+ <p>The port has been updated to GDB 8.0.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for &os;/aarch64 userland binaries has been committed
+ upstream. These patches, along with support for debugging
+ &os;/aarch64 kernels, have been committed to the port.</p>
+
+ <p>Upstream patches adding improved support for &os;/arm userland
+ binaries are currently in review. &os; 12 has recently grown
+ support for debugging VFP registers via <tt>ptrace()</tt> and
+ core dumps as part of this work. Support for &os;/arm kernels
+ will be added to the port after the upstream patches are added
+ to the port.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for <tt>$_siginfo</tt> has been committed upstream.
+ This uses the recently added NT_LWPINFO note to extract
+ signal information from process cores.</p>
+
+ <p>Hangs that occured when GDB's <tt>kill</tt> command was used
+ were fixed in &os; in r313992.</p>
