 *** Changes since GDB 7.12
 
+* Building GDB and GDBserver now requires a C++11 compiler.
+
+  For example, GCC 4.8 or later.
+
+  It is no longer possible to build GDB or GDBserver with a C
+  compiler.  The --disable-build-with-cxx configure option has been
+  removed.
+
+* Native debugging on MS-Windows supports command-line redirection
+
+  Command-line arguments used for starting programs on MS-Windows can
+  now include redirection symbols supported by native Windows shells,
+  such as '<', '>', '>>', '2>&1', etc.  This affects GDB commands such
+  as "run", "start", and "set args", as well as the corresponding MI
+  features.
+
+* Support for thread names on MS-Windows.
+
+  GDB now catches and handles the special exception that programs
+  running on MS-Windows use to assign names to threads in the
+  debugger.
+
+* Support for Java programs compiled with gcj has been removed.
+
+* New targets

 *** Changes in GDB 7.12
 
+* GDB and GDBserver now build with a C++ compiler by default.
+
+  The --enable-build-with-cxx configure option is now enabled by
+  default.  One must now explicitly configure with
+  --disable-build-with-cxx in order to build with a C compiler.  This
+  option will be removed in a future release.
+
 * GDBserver now supports recording btrace without maintaining an active
   GDB connection.
