CHANGELOG - byebug-4.0.5 Documentation

## 4.0.5 - 2015-04-02¶ ↑

### Fixed¶ ↑

- # 131¶ ↑

- Thread commands help format should be consistent with the rest of the help system now.

## 4.0.4 - 2015-03-27¶ ↑

### Fixed¶ ↑

- # 127¶ ↑

## 4.0.3 - 2015-03-19¶ ↑

### Fixed¶ ↑

- Unused variable warning in context.c

## 4.0.2 - 2015-03-16¶ ↑

### Fixed¶ ↑

- Removed `rb-readline` as a dependency and show a help message whenever requiring readline fails instead (#118)

## 4.0.1 - 2015-03-13¶ ↑

### Fixed¶ ↑

- .yml files needed for printers support were missing from the release… :S

- Add `rb-readline` as a dependency (#118)

## 4.0.0 - 2015-03-13¶ ↑

### Added¶ ↑

- `untracevar` command that stops tracing a global variable.

- Window CI build through AppVeyor.

- OSX CI build through Travis.

- Style enforcement through RuboCop.

- C style enforment using the `indent` command line utility.

- Some remote debugging tests (thanks @eric-hu).

- Printer's support (thanks @astashov).

### Changed¶ ↑

- A lot of internal refactoring.

- `tracevar` now requires the full global variable name (with “$”).

- `catch` command is not allowed in post_mortem mode anymore. It was not working anyways (#92).

- `step` is now more user friendly when used in combination with `up` (see #85).

- `var const` can now be called without an argument and will show constants in the current scope.

- `break` with a class name now creates breakpoints regardless of class not being yet defined. If that's the case, it gives a warning but the class is created anyways.

### Fixed¶ ↑

- Code reloading issues.

- `set fullpath` was not showing fullpaths. Now it is.

- `up`, `down` and `frame` commands now work in post_mortem mode (#93).

- Fixes in rc file (.byebugrc): invalid commands are just ignored instead of aborting, global (home) rc file is now properly loaded before project's file.

- Backtraces not working in `post_mortem` mode (#93).

- 'cmd1 ; cmd2 ; …; cmdN' syntax which allows running several commands sequentially.

- Finish command not stopping at the correct line (#101).

- `break` with namespaced class, like `break A::B#c` should now work (#106).

- Command history is now persisted before exiting byebug.

- Setting breakpoint in a method would stop not only at the beginning of the method but also at the beginning of every block inside the method.

- Setting breakpoints on module methods (#122, @x-yuri).

### Removed¶ ↑

- `autoreload` setting as it's not necessary anymore. Code should always be up to date.

- `reload` command for the same reason.

- Gem dependency on `debugger-linecache`.

- `step+`, `step-`, `next+`, `next-`, `set/show linetrace_plus` and `set/show forcestep` commands. These were all mechanisms to deal with TracePoint API event dupplication, but this duplicated events have been completely removed from the API since r48609, so they are no longer necessary.

- `info file` subcommands: `info file breakpoints`, `info file mtime`, `info file sha1`, `info file all`. Now all information is listed under `info file`.

- `testing` setting. It was just a hack to be able to test `byebug`. Nobody was supposed to actually use it!

- `var class` command, just use Ruby (`self.class.class_variables`).

- `p` command, just use `eval`, or just type your expression and `byebug` will autoevaluate it.

- `exit` alias for `quit`.

## 3.5.1 - 2014-09-29¶ ↑

### Fixed¶ ↑

## 3.5.0 - 2014-09-28¶ ↑

- User not being notified when trying to debug a non existent script.

### Changed¶ ↑

- Complete rewrite of byebug's history.

## Changed¶ ↑

- The `-t` option for `bin/byebug` now turns tracing on whereas the `-x` option tells byebug to run the initialization file (.byebugrc) on startup. This is the default behaviour though.

## 3.1.0 - 2014-04-23¶ ↑

### Removed¶ ↑

- `trace` command. Use `set linetrace` for line tracing and `tracevar` for global variable tracing.

- `show version` command. Use `byebug --version` to check byebug's version.

- `finish` semantic, see 61f9b4d.

- Use `per project` history file by default.
