 * GDB in batch mode now exits with status 1 if the last command to be
   executed failed.
 
+* Changes to the "frame", "select-frame", and "info frame" CLI
+  commands.  These commands all now take a frame specification which
+  is either a frame level, or one of the keywords 'level', 'address',
+  'function', or 'view' followed by a parameter.  Selecting a frame by
+  address, or viewing a frame outside the current backtrace now
+  requires the use of a keyword.  Selecting a frame by level is
+  unchanged.  The MI comment "-stack-select-frame" is unchanged.
