Hi,

I'm finally able to announce the release of rudebug, a debugging 
front-end for ruby-debug and other debugging libraries for Ruby. It is 
based on Glade and Ruby-GNOME2.

It has support for stepping, you can type code into a code shell and 
instantly see the results. The source code which is being executed is 
displayed as well. There is syntax highlighting everywhere. You can 
browse the current context in a fairly powerful way through the object 
browser. You can also reference the object that is selected in the 
object browser in the code shell. You can debug locally as well as 
remotely.

More information is available on the project home page. (Including a 
more detailed project description, install guide, use guide and 
explanation of the implementation.)

This was my project for last year's Summer of Code. It should probably 
have been released earlier. I hope it is still useful to the Ruby 
community.

Comments and feedback are highly welcome.

Thanks for your attention!

Kind regards,
Florian Gross
