 *** Changes since GDB 9
 
+* GDB now supports general memory tagging functionality if the underlying
+  architecture supports the proper primitives and hooks.  Currently this is
+  enabled only for AArch64 MTE.
+
+  This includes additional information when the inferior crashes with a
+  SIGSEGV caused by a memory tag violation.

+* The "x" command supports the 'm' modifier to display allocation tags for

+
+* The "print" command will display memory tag mismatches for addresses and
