+      <p>The port has been updated to GDB 7.12.</p>
+
+      <p>7.12 includes additional fixes related to tracing
+	<tt>vfork()</tt>s.  Some of these fixes depend on changes to
+	<tt>ptrace()</tt> in the kernel to report a new ptrace stop when
+	the parent of a <tt>vfork()</tt> resumes.</p>
+
+      <p>Support for &os;/mips userland binaries has been committed
+	upstream.  These patches, along with support for debugging
+	&os;/mips kernels, should be added to the port soon.</p>
