0.52 2014-03-10
A number of serious bugs addressed:
* Work around perl bug RT 115742 in recursive calls to DB::DB()
* Test for non-threadedness
* Currect showing op location. (More later for uplevel calls)
* fake CORE::caller in debugger eval's
so that it reflects caller as seen by the debugged program,
0.51 2014-11-17 - Sister Release
- Start to have true subroutine breakpoints. This is fragile, and more
work would be nice.. But it's more honest.
- Skip test 10test-options.t if Test::More is >= 1.0. See issue 25
- Match PERL_RL environment var test for presence of
Term:ReadLine:Perl5 to match that used in Term::ReadLine. In
particular, ignore case.
- Reduce version required on Time::HiRes based on
empirical travis tests
0.50 2013-06-22
- Address smoker bugs.
0.49 2013-06-12 - The Fleetwood
- Add "set substitute path" and "set substitute string" commands
- Add provision for tracing use (Use.pm and debuggable SelfLoader.pm)
- Bump $deep based on discussion in RT #117407
- First use of Term::ReadLine::Perl5 so we can now have command history
saving enabled - set PERL_RL=Perl5 to use.
- eval file remapping fixes
- Perl bug #116358
- Misc bug fixes
0.48 2013-01-06
- Sort hash keys in Data::Printer output
- fix bug in "set autoeval"
- add package and function name to "info program"
0.47 2012-12-18
- Bullwinkle protocol tolerance. Some small changes, mostly typos and
better gdb compliance.
0.45 2012-10-2
- Add "load source" to read in Perl source file somewhat like it would be
when debugger reads the file under debugging. Might be useful when
used via in Enbugger.
- When stopping, we were printing too many lines if the first statement
was incomplete. For example:
if (0) {
$x = 1;
$y = 2;
};
was printing entire "if (0) { ... }" rather than stop after "$x = 1";
- Smallbug fixes
0.44 2012-09-26
- Rerelease to try to address a CPAN Indexing failure
0.43 2012-09-25
- Bugfix release. See ChangeLog
0.42 2012-09-18
- Botched 0.41 release
0.41 2012-09-18
- release to asssist pending Devel::Trepan::Disassemble and to see if we
can resolve a rlib weirdness.
- More doc changes
- Add color setting for black
0.40 2012-09-17
- Rerelease to fix yet another problem with Build.PL
0.39 2012-09-17
- Rerelease to fix yet another problem with Build.PL
- Improve POD documentation for DB::LineCache
0.38 2012-09-16
- add option max_continue on DB::LineCache to use heuristic to look end
of a Perl statement
- Work on Pod formatting of DB::LineCache
- Reduce "incomplete" testing because smokers can't deal with rlib in Build.PL
0.37 2012-09-16
- Fix some CPAN Tester failures and pod formatting.
0.36 2012-09-15
- Allow color in Data::Printer output
- Help strings are now in pod format and we run pod2text to give help.
This means terminal width settings can be adjusted (with set max width)
and terminal highlighting is handled. We are also closer to automating
a Devel::Trepan manual
- If Devel::Callsite is installed we can show a more exact location of
where we are.
- Add debugger command 'load command' to force loading or reloading a
debugger command file
- Add debugger command 'load module' to foce loading or reloading a
Perl module
- Continuation of a command now allowed if you end a line with '\'
This should make writing macros for example easier and may help
in eval
- There's enough flexibility with eval that we don't need special
! handling. Remove that.
- Bug in tab completion of help syntax fixed.
- Tidy syntax errors in evaluation
0.35 2012-08-27
- More CPANTS failures, Had broken tolerance in older Perls and
perl compiled with usesiteconfig

0.32 2012-08-24
- Fix bugs
- Rerelease for CPANTS failures
0.31 2012-08-20
- Rerelease for CPANTS failures.
0.30 2012-08-19
- Incompatible change: "d" is now "delete" like gdb, not "down". Add aliases
for "h" and remove "u" for "up". All of this is to follow gdb closer.
- Incompatible change: "set/show evaldisplay" is now "set/show display eval"
- Set $0, __FILE__, and, __LINE__ to look like it would be inside the debugged
program
- Add -e option to trepan.pl same as Perl
- Location now shows package name like recent perl5db
- More than one line may be shown if the line we are on isn't a full statement
- Add "info line"
- Add gdb "show args"
- Add "Set Display COP" to show COP address in location
- Allow setting a breakpoint on a line even if it isn't recorded as a place
that is stoppable.
- Fix various bugs
0.2.1 2012-05-25
- Address some CPANTS failures. Some doc tweaks.
0.2.0 2012-05-24
- Nexting should be more accurate albeit slower
We can't rely on $DB:single -- sigh
- Remove defined(@array) which is deprecated in Perl 5.16
- Allow alias replacement to be a blank-delimited string
- eval? treats 'local' and 'our' like eval? for 'my', e.g.
local ($a,b) = ($v1,$v2)
displays ($v1,v2) without setting. If you want to set, use 'eval'
0.1.9 2012-01-16
- Allow Data::Print to be used for printing eval output
- Use sigils in eval? and eval; was previously done only in autoeval
- "info program" may show COP position.
- Miscelleneous bug fixes and documentation corrections and improvements.
0.1.8 2012-01-3
- Perl 5.8.8 tolerance - this time, for sure!
- Eval::WithLexicals is optional. Darn you, RedHat!
0.1.7 2012-01-02
- Perl 5.8.8 tolerance.
- Use Eval::WithLexicals to evaluate stack frames other than the
topmost frame.
0.1.6 2012-01-02
- Rereleased because of weird interaction in rlib.
0.1.5 2012-01-01
- Works on Perl 5.8 (Only 5.8.9 tested)
- Add rudimentary signal handling
- Warn if we try to set a breakpoint on a "use" statement line.
- Auto evaluation will determine the return type based on the first (sigil)
character of an expression, e.g. the expression: %ENV treated as a hash, and
the expression @ARGV is treated as an array by default. Use explicit overrides
to change this. For example: "eval$ @ARGV + 1" or "$ @ARGV+1"
- add --cmddir option to all addition of user-specified commands. As a
a result...
* 'disassemble' and 'shell' commands are now in a separate package
- In line with the above, reduce the minimum number of dependencies needed
to build.
0.1.4 2011-12-16
- Works on ActiveState Perl and Perl 10.0
- Fix CPANTS errors when Term::ReadLine::Perl dies in ->new()
- Work on remote debugging
* Add client .source to run a remote client-based profile
* Use common User output routines
0.1.3 2011-12-11
- Add remote debugging over a TCP socket. See --server and --client
on trepan.pl and debugger "server" command
- Allow break FILENAME LINENUMBER
- Tests work in Strawberry Perl
- Complete completion more. Completion offers choices properly by using
Term::Complete::Perl
- Add debugger commands:
* info functions
* info variables
* server
* show interactive
- Make easier to build on older Perl (but still >= 5.10.0)
- Start script trepanpl is now trepan.pl
- Add '--no-readline' option on trepan.pl
- Remove "shell" for now. Will reinstate sometime later with Devel::REPL
rather than Psh.
0.1.2 2011-11-17 - Sister Release
- Add nested debugging via the "debug" command
- Make code work better on cygwin and with some older modules
- Some code cleanup
0.1.1 2011-11-11
- Add watchpoints
- Don't require Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::Readline
- Reduce uses Term::ReadLine when it not needed, e.g. trepanpl --command
or --testing options.
- Use "use rlib" instead of "use lib"
- Remove deprecated warning given by newer Perls (Reine Urban and Shlomi Fish)
- Add --no-match-vars to Use English. (Shlomi Fish)
0.1.0 2011-10-27 - me
Initial release.
Some cool things not in other Perl debuggers
- Syntax higlighting via Syntax::Highlight::Perl::Improved
- Readline debugger command completion
- Extensive help inside the debugger
- Gdb-like command set
- Standalone binary install: trepanpl
(Enbugger support provided as a patch to Enbugger)
- trace mode for POSIX-shell "set -x"-like tracing: trepanpl -x ...
- auto evaluation in hash and array and scalar context:
@ array-expression # for array
% hash-expression # for hash
[$] expression # for scalar
- Evaluation results saved in global array @DB::D
- Ability to go into a Psh shell
- Debugger Command aliases for simple things and
- Debugger Command macros via a perl anonymous sub for
more complicated things.
- Extensible command set
- many unit and integration tests
Still, much remains to be done (out-of-process control, installing
signal handlers, adding watch expressions), so please help out!
