Don't you want your new bit underneath "Changes since GDB 7.4"?

Also, I don't know that there is anything like a standard for this, but 
I tend to like having features that affect more users higher in the NEWS 
section for a release, and the more arcane/specialized additions more 
towards the end of the section; the theory being that we have so many 
new features in each release, and many readers won't actually make it 
all the way through the list. :-)

In any case, your changes are fine.

Stan
