- New features are implemented by companies sponsored by Ericsson
Below is a list of features implemented by Ericsson or with Ericsson's help or sponsorship in 2013.

2013
Debugging multiple processes within one debug session
Debugging a new executable in the same debug session has been improved for GDB versions starting from 7.2. "Debug New Executable" action has been added to the context menu of the Debug view.
The dialog for specifying an executable to debug for local sessions has been changed.
The ability to debug a remote executable using gdbserver has been added.
Enhanced GDB console support
CDT is being improved to update its views with any change made to GDB by the user from the GDB console. Updates are being added gradually and the final goal is to allow the user to perform any command from the GDB console, and have CDT stay synchronized with the changes.
Memory and variables
Memory and variables modified from the GDB console are now updated in the Memory, Memory Browser, Variables and Expressions views. This feature requires GDB 7.6 or higher.
Reverse debugging state
CDT will now properly update the status of reverse debugging if its state is modified through the GDB console. This feature requires GDB 7.6 or higher.
