Hi Ricardo,
Just a reminder, about change log in perl5db.pl POD.
when i view perl5db.pl in perl 5.15.6
I expected to see change log for
v1.34
as well as
perl 5.15.6 -> perl5db.pl v1.35
but it's missing
it only goes up to v1.33
Also note
5.14.2 => v1.33
5.15.0 => v1.34
5.15.1 => v1.34
5.15.2 => v1.34
5.15.3 => v1.34
5.15.4 => v1.34
5.15.5 => v1.34
5.15.6 => v1.35
5.15.7 => v1.35
5.15.8 => v1.35
5.15.9 => v1.35
from perl5156delta
* The "c [line num]" debugger command was broken by other debugger
changes released in 5.15.3. This is now fixed.
* Breakpoints were not properly restored after a debugger restart
using the "R" command. This was broken in 5.15.3. This is now fixed.
* The debugger prompt did not display the current line. This was
broken in 5.15.3. This is now fixed.
