   *** Changes since GDB 7.10

+* Support for software breakpoints on ARM linux was added in GDBServer.

Putting a user hat on, what does this mean?  Why is it news worthy?


Humm I had not thought about it this way would saying something like :

* Support for software breakpoints on ARM linux was added in GDBServer.
Users can now call break to set a breakpoint with GDBServer on ARM linux.

When I read this I'm left confused and wonder what's new, because
it suggests users couldn't already call break and set breakpoints before,
but, they obviously could.


Right indeed, I can't explain what would this add from a user point of view so I will remove the NEWS entry.
