** New method gdb.PendingFrame.architecture () to retrieve the
architecture of the pending frame.
+ ** New gdb.Architecture.registers method that returns a
+ gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator object, an iterator that returns
+ gdb.RegisterDescriptor objects. The new RegisterDescriptor is a
+ way to query the registers available for an architecture.

+@cindex Registers In Python
+
+Python code can request from a @code{gdb.Architecture} information
+about the set of registers available
+(@pxref{gdbpy_architecture_registers,,@code{Architecture.registers}}).
+The register information is returned as a
+@code{gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator}, which is an iterator that in
+turn returns @code{gdb.RegisterDescriptor} objects.
+
+A @code{gdb.RegisterDescriptor} does not provide the value of a
+register (@pxref{gdbpy_frame_read_register,,@code{Frame.read_register}}
+for reading a register's value), instead the @code{RegisterDescriptor}
+is a way to discover which registers are available for a particular
+architecture.
+
+A @code{gdb.RegisterDescriptor} has the following read-only properties:
+
+@defvar RegisterDescriptor.name
+The name of this register.
