Hi!

Below you find the status of ruby-debug functionality in the current 
nightly builds. I have developed and tested on Linux (ubuntu) only, and 
would be interested to hear how it works on OS X and Windows (C compiler 
needed, please have a look at the forum, too).
Currently there is still a patched version of ruby-debug necessary. I am 
trying to synchronize our release with Kent, so that there will be a 
compatible ruby-debug release for the RDT 0.9.0 release or release 
candidate.

My next topic will be to update the threads in the Launch view regularly.

I think the remaining TODO's can be fixed within 2 days except for the 
last one which we probably have to postpone after 0.9.0.

Thanks
Markus

OK:
* adding/removing breakpoints (including first line) before and during 
debug session
* Setting/clearing a catchpoint
* stepping (step into/over/return, resume)
* Variables view
* Inspect/inspect... from editor; errors are displayed via job return status
* "Ruby inspect" from Display view
* code reloading on editor save

TODO:
* perspective switch after suspension is unreliable
* the Variables View does not show class variables and constants
* Threads are not updated in between suspensions and particularly after 
the session has started. So there are no threads shown until the first 
suspension and after resuming the thread list will keep its state until 
the next suspension.
* code reloading job can not be canceled
* Threads can not be suspended manually (the suspend button in the 
Launch view is always disabled)
