Version 3.1 0.07
2006-12-10

- Add gdb-like "signal" command

- Add "kill" command for those cases where "quit" doesn't work.

- Add mechanism to set up signal handlers so debugger is entered,
  or we just print the signal. 

- document how to do call line tracing from within a program, i.e.
  like the above signal handling setup, the debugger is not entered
  first.

- Allow an optional line-spec on "continue" debugger command.

- Add --enable-getopt option to disable GNU getopt for systems that have 
  non-GNU getopt like NetBSD

- Fix bug in tracking parameters $1, $2, etc

- Emacs interface bug fixes

- readarray builtin internal changes

- Document updates

- Make sure we don't complain about bash 3.2. This debugger works on both.

Version 3.1 0.06
2006-07-21

- Add gdb 'commands' command: 
  runs debugger commands at a specified breakpoint

- Add gdb 'info program'. (Shows program status)

- Add ability to invoke from inside a running program rather than
  at the outset (set_trace)

- Add a better line tracing:
   * shows bash nesting, 
   * bash subshell nesting
   * function nesting
   * source line preserving initial indentation

- Add line tracing command-line option in bashdb: -X, and long option --trace

- add ability to turn on and off line tracing from inside a program

- Revise sample sessions in bashdb document

- Sourcing a debugger command file now prints the 
  command before executing it.

- Executing a string (option -c or --command) shows the command
  to be run in the call stack.

- Attempt to get documentation on GNU Emacs section in order. Describe
  bashdbtrack.

- Go over documentation yet again. When will I ever get this right?
