It has been a while since the last ruby-debug release 0.9.3. We're planning on having a clearance sale release of changes that have accumulated since then. A list of what's happened is here: http://ruby-debug.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/CHANGES If folks want to try it out and report problems, a guide to using fom SVN is http://ruby-debug.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/INSTALL.SVN These instructions assume a Unix-like environment. I understand building under Windows is trickier, although folks who know what they are doing have done this. Periodically I update HTML for the upcoming manual at http://bashdb.sf.net/ruby-debug.html Easy to fix bugs we will address as time permits. However there are some known harder bugs that will probably not be addressed in the next release. Some of these include some exception and signal handling bugs. Hopefully this will be address in the release after next. Also ruby-debug does not work on Ruby 1.9.x yet.
