Hi-
It's been some three years since a major new release of PowerDebug, and
with the 2022 LiveCode conference right around the corner, I think it's
time to release PowerDebug 2.3.
NOTE: in order to get responsive speed out of this thing, it's now only
backwards-compatible to LiveCode 8.0.
What's in the new build:
* Much faster, especially viewing array variable elements.
Yes... expanding big arrays in debug mode was painful before.
Faster code colorization as well.
* Faster and more robust standalone debugging.
Still works locally or in the same subnet using sockets. Debug
standalone applications with two lines of code.
* Code profiling.
If you don't already have the Pro package from LC, PowerDebug will add a
new menuItem to the Development menu to toggle profiling on/off. Note
that profiling *will* slow down your code considerably, but PowerDebug
will display execution times down to the microsecond.
* Improved error reporting, update checking, and more.
Note that the usernames and passwords have changed for the new version.
The url remains the same, but you'll need the new information to
download the new version. And as always, your registration will never
expire, so you have access to the latest versions.
Documentation is at <https://powerdebug.ahsoftware.net>

Known issues:
LiveCode on Windows still doesn't support the long milliseconds, so I'm
extrapolating to microseconds over multiple iterations.
I don't have an iPhone or associated Apple developer account to test
with, so I can't verify that standalone debugging works on iOS. Any help
testing this would be appreciated. As long as iOS supports socket
communications I assume this would work, but you never know.
NOTE: I announced the new build to registered users earlier but I have
several bounced messages. If you've previously registered PowerDebug but
haven't gotten an email from me about it, get in touch. You won't be
able to grab the new version without updated registration info.
