 ### Changes to LLDB
 
+#### SBAPI
+
+* A [bug](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/211787) involving SBValues
+  representing a register set was fixed. The methods `GetIndexOfChildWithName`
+  and `GetChildMemberWithName` were incorrectly looking up values in all
+  register sets. This meant that `GetIndexOfChildWithName` could return an index
+  greater than the size of the set, and that `GetChildMemberWithName` could
+  return values that were actually in a different set. Both methods are now fixed
+  so that they are limited to the registers within the register set. Scripts
+  using these methods may have to be updated as a result.

I wouldn't normally release note a bug fix but since the behaviour could silently change I thought it best to do so.

I think we're justified in fixing it because GetNumChildren always reported the same number, and it now works in the way a reasonable person would expect. But existing scripts might do some strange things.
