The question often came up why it is not updated anymore. Well the
reason for this is that Jascha Wetzel the developer of Ddbg earns the
big bucks now with his product Turbolence 4D (http://jawset.com/) and
his company "Jawset Visual Computing"
"TURBULENCE.4D makes the most realistic and efficient methods in CG
fluid dynamics available in standard software"
Well and recently his product got used in the new Bruce Willis movie
"Surrogates" (http://chooseyoursurrogate.com/).
All in all I whish him the best for the future and that he will never
forget D when developing next cutting edge software.
The downside is that Ddbg finally needs a new developer for the future
to get updated.
In the second part of the mentioned restrictions in the license.txt is
written:
* You may only redistribute the software unmodified, in the form and
prepackaging it is available from the official website.
It's seems as if redistributing of a changed version is not allowed.
(But perhaps my english understanding is not good enought, I'm not an
english native speaker :)
So in this case, we need to write a debugger from scratch.

That's unfortunate, Jascha Wetzel has done some incredible things (not
only ddbg). His code is really nice too, if ever someone would want to
pick this up maybe he can be convinced to change the license.
