Hello,

The NEWS file could do with a few more updates.

Pascal and ``limited support for the C++ v3.0 ABI'' come to mind.

* Other news:

The Makefile variable VERSION has been replaced by the file
``version.in''.  People creating GDB distributions should update the
contents of this file.

* gdba.el deleted

GUD support is now a standard part of the EMACS distribution.
