I realized that, in conjunction with Joel's changes to the NEWS file, this push now says that gdb-8.3 no longer supports Python versions less than 2.6. This is technically true due to the commit of the two argument version of gdb.Value that I pushed yesterday. (That commit uses the PEP 3118 buffer protocol which is only supported in Python versions 2.6 and up.) So... I've pushed this documentation commit to gdb-8.3-branch also. I won't push "Use Python 2.[67] / 3.X / PEP 3118 buffer protocol" to the gdb-8.3-branch unless someone asks for it though. Kevin
