I was posted ... in my head! Another example of the forgetting to
attach the patch classic. Sorry about that.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * NEWS <Changes in GDB 8.1>: Clarify that "rbreak" is a new
        Python function, rather than a new command.

Thanks,

I don't think this patch was reviewed; do you think the patch is OK?

Thank you!

The documentation part LGTM, thanks.
