Sure.  How about this?

+ * C++ Improvements:
+ 
+   ** GDB now puts template parameters in scope when debugging in an
+      instantiation.  For example, if you have:
+ 
+      template<int X> int func (void) { return X; }
+ 
+      Then if you step into func<5>, "print X" will show "5".  This
+      feature requires proper debuginfo support from the compiler; it
+      was added to GCC 4.5.
+ 
  * GDB now has some support for using labels in the program's source in
    linespecs.  For instance, you can use "advance label" to continue
    execution to a label.
