This command now includes information about the width of the tui
windows in its output.
+* GDB's Ada parser now supports an extension for specifying the exact
+ byte contents of a floating-point literal. This can be useful for
+ setting floating-point registers to a precise value without loss of
+ precision. The syntax is an extension of the based literal syntax.
+ Use, e.g., "16lf#0123abcd#" -- the number of "l"s controls the width
+ of the floating-point type, and the "f" is the marker for floating
+ point.
