The followin commands are still mentioned in the manual but appear to have been
removed (replaced by target-async?):

    `maint set linux-async'
    `maint show linux-async'
        Control the GNU/Linux native asynchronous support (*note
        Background Execution::) of GDB.

        GNU/Linux native asynchronous support will be disabled until you
        use the `maint set linux-async' command to enable it.

   `maint set remote-async'
   `maint show remote-async'
        Control the remote asynchronous support (*note Background
        Execution::) of GDB.

        Remote asynchronous support will be disabled until you use the
        `maint set remote-async' command to enable it.


`set target-async' is mentioned but not described as a boolean command.

The manual says:

                                           The MI execution commands (*note
    GDB/MI Program Execution::) are always executed asynchronously in
   non-stop mode.

That does not appear to be true.  It seems that you need to set target-async
in this case too.

Many MI commands accept the options "--thread" and "--frame" now but I can see
no mention of this in the manual.

The MI commands "-exec-interrupt" and "-exec-continue" accept "--all" and this
is not mentioned either.

In MI, the async record *stopped always generates a "stopped-threads" field
but this is neither described nor displayed any of the examples showing
*stopped output in the manual.
