[ANNOUNCEMENT] xdebug-2.1.0beta1 (beta) Released.

The new PECL package xdebug-2.1.0beta1 (beta) has been released at http://pecl.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Sun, Jan 03, 2010 - xdebug 2.1.0beta1 + Added features: - Added error display collection and suppressions. - Added the recording of headers being set in scripts. - Added variable assignment tracing. - Added the ability to turn of the default overriding of var_dump(). - Added "Scream" support, which disables the @ operator. - Added a trace-file analysing script. - Added support for debugging into phars. - Added a default xdebug.ini. (Patch by Martin Schuhfuß <martins@spot-media.de>) - Added function parameters in computerized function traces. - PHP 5.3 compatibility. - Improved code coverage accuracy. + New functions: - xdebug_get_formatted_function_stack(), which returns a formatted function stack instead of displaying it. - xdebug_get_headers(), which returns all headers that have been set in a script, both explicitly with things like header(), but also implicitly for things like setcookie(). - xdebug_start_error_collection(), xdebug_stop_error_collection() and xdebug_get_collected_errors(), which allow you to collect all notices, warnings and error messages that Xdebug generates from PHP's error_reporting functionality so that you can output them at a later point in your script by hand. + New settings: - xdebug.collect_assignments, which enables the emitting of variable assignments in function traces. - xdebug.file_line_format, to generate a link with a specific format for every filename that Xdebug outputs. - xdebug.overload_var_dump, which allows you to turn off Xdebug's version of var_dump(). - xdebug.remote_cookie_expire_time, that controls the length of a remote debugging session. (Patch by Rick Pannen <pannen@gmail.com>) - xdebug.scream, which makes the @ operator to be ignored. + Changes: - Added return values for xdebug_start_code_coverage() and xdebug_stop_code_coverage() to indicate whether the action was succesfull. xdebug_start_code_coverage() will return TRUE if the call enabled code coverage, and FALSE if it was already enabled. xdebug_stop_code_coverage() will return FALSE when code coverage wasn't started yet and TRUE if it was turned on. - Added an optional argument to xdebug_print_function_stack() to display your own message. (Patch by Mikko Koppanen). - All HTML output as generated by Xdebug now has a HTML "class" attribute for easy CSS formatting. - Removed features: - Support for PHP versions lower than PHP 5.1 have been dropped. - The PHP3 and GDB debugger engines have been removed. = Fixed bugs: - Fixed support for showing $this in remote debugging sessions. - Fixed bug in formatting the display of "Variables in the local scope". - Possible fix for a threading issue where the headers gathering function would create stack overflows. - Possible fix for #324: xdebug_dump_superglobals() only dumps superglobals that were accessed before, and #478: XDebug 2.0.x can't use %R in xdebug.profiler_output_name if register_long_arrays is off. - Fixed bug #505: %s in xdebug.trace_output_name breaks functions traces. - Fixed bug #494: Private attributes of parent class unavailable when inheriting. - Fixed bug #486: feature_get -n breakpoint_types returns out of date list. - Fixed bug #476: Xdebug doesn't support PHP 5.3's exception chaining. - Fixed bug #472: Dead Code Analysis for code coverage messed up after goto. - Fixed bug #470: Catch blocks marked as dead code unless executed. - Fixed bug #469: context_get for function variables always appear as "uninitialized". - Fixed bug #468: Property_get on $GLOBALS works only at top-level, by adding GLOBALS to the super globals context. - Fixed bug #453: Memory leaks. - Fixed bug #445: error_prepend_string and error_append_string are ignored by xdebug_error_cb. (Patch by Kent Davidson <kent@marketruler.com>) - Fixed bug #442: configure: error: "you have strange libedit". - Fixed bug #439: Xdebug crash in xdebug_header_handler. - Fixed bug #423: Conflicts with funcall. - Fixed bug #419: Make use of P_tmpdir if defined instead of hard coded '/tmp'. - Fixed bug #417: Response of context_get may lack page and pagesize attributes. - Fixed bug #411: Class/function breakpoint setting does not follow the specs. - Fixed bug #393: eval returns array data at the previous page request. - Fixed bug #391: Xdebug doesn't stop executing script on catchable fatal errors. - Fixed bug #389: Destructors called on fatal error. - Fixed bug #368: Xdebug's debugger bails out on a parse error with the eval command. - Fixed bug #356: Temporary breakpoints persist. - Fixed bug #355: Function numbers in trace files weren't unique. - Fixed bug #340: Segfault while throwing an Exception. - Fixed bug #328: Private properties are incorrectly enumerated in case of extended classes. - Fixed bug #249: Xdebug's error handler messes up with the SOAP extension's error handler. + DBGP: - Fixed cases where private properties where shown for objects, but not accessible. - Added a patch by Lucas Nealan (lucas@php.net) and Brian Shire (shire@php.net) of Facebook to allow connections to the initiating request's IP address for remote debugging. - Added the -p argument to the eval command as well, pending inclusion into DBGP. - Added the retrieval of a file's execution lines. I added a new un-official method called xcmd_get_executable_lines which requires the stack depth as argument (-d). You can only fetch this information for stack frames as it needs an available op-array which is only available when a function is executed. - Added a fake "CLASSNAME" property to objects that are returned in debug requests to facilitate deficiencies in IDEs that fail to show the "classname" XML attribute. Package Info ------------- The Xdebug extension helps you debugging your script by providing a lot of valuable debug information. The debug information that Xdebug can provide includes the following: * stack and function traces in error messages with: o full parameter display for user defined functions o function name, file name and line indications o support for member functions * memory allocation * protection for infinite recursions Xdebug also provides: * profiling information for PHP scripts * code coverage analysis * capabilities to debug your scripts interactively with a debug client Related Links ------------- Package home: http://pecl.php.net/package/xdebug Changelog: http://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=xdebug Download: http://pecl.php.net/get/xdebug-2.1.0beta1.tgz Authors ------------- Derick Rethans (lead)
