-########################################################################
-# Changes: 0.94
-#   + A lot of things changed after 0.94. First of all, core now informs
-#     debugger about entry into XSUBs, overloaded operators, tied operations,
-#     BEGIN and END. Handy with 'O f=2'.
-#   + This can make debugger a little bit too verbose, please be patient
-#     and report your problems promptly.
-#   + Now the option frame has 3 values: 0,1,2. XXX Document!
-#   + Note that if DESTROY returns a reference to the object (or object),
-#     the deletion of data may be postponed until the next function call,
-#     due to the need to examine the return value.
-#
-# Changes: 0.95
-#   + 'v' command shows versions.
-#
-# Changes: 0.96
-#   + 'v' command shows version of readline.
-#     primitive completion works (dynamic variables, subs for 'b' and 'l',
-#     options). Can 'p %var'
-#   + Better help ('h <' now works). New commands <<, >>, {, {{.
-#     {dump|print}_trace() coded (to be able to do it from <<cmd).
-#   + 'c sub' documented.
-#   + At last enough magic combined to stop after the end of debuggee.
-#   + !! should work now (thanks to Emacs bracket matching an extra
-#     ']' in a regexp is caught).
-#   + 'L', 'D' and 'A' span files now (as documented).
-#   + Breakpoints in 'require'd code are possible (used in 'R').
-#   +  Some additional words on internal work of debugger.
-#   + 'b load filename' implemented.
-#   + 'b postpone subr' implemented.
-#   + now only 'q' exits debugger (overwritable on $inhibit_exit).
-#   + When restarting debugger breakpoints/actions persist.
-#   + Buglet: When restarting debugger only one breakpoint/action per
-#             autoloaded function persists.
-#
-# Changes: 0.97: NonStop will not stop in at_exit().
-#   + Option AutoTrace implemented.
-#   + Trace printed differently if frames are printed too.
-#   + new 'inhibitExit' option.
-#   + printing of a very long statement interruptible.
-# Changes: 0.98: New command 'm' for printing possible methods
-#   + 'l -' is a synonym for '-'.
-#   + Cosmetic bugs in printing stack trace.
-#   +  'frame' & 8 to print "expanded args" in stack trace.
-#   + Can list/break in imported subs.
-#   + new 'maxTraceLen' option.
-#   + frame & 4 and frame & 8 granted.
-#   + new command 'm'
-#   + nonstoppable lines do not have ':' near the line number.
-#   + 'b compile subname' implemented.
-#   + Will not use $` any more.
-#   + '-' behaves sane now.
-# Changes: 0.99: Completion for 'f', 'm'.
-#   +  'm' will remove duplicate names instead of duplicate functions.
-#   + 'b load' strips trailing whitespace.
-#     completion ignores leading '|'; takes into account current package
-#     when completing a subroutine name (same for 'l').
-# Changes: 1.07: Many fixed by tchrist 13-March-2000
-#   BUG FIXES:
-#   + Added bare minimal security checks on perldb rc files, plus
-#     comments on what else is needed.
-#   + Fixed the ornaments that made "|h" completely unusable.
-#     They are not used in print_help if they will hurt.  Strip pod
-#     if we're paging to less.
-#   + Fixed mis-formatting of help messages caused by ornaments
-#     to restore Larry's original formatting.
-#   + Fixed many other formatting errors.  The code is still suboptimal,
-#     and needs a lot of work at restructuring.  It's also misindented
-#     in many places.
-#   + Fixed bug where trying to look at an option like your pager
-#     shows "1".
-#   + Fixed some $? processing.  Note: if you use csh or tcsh, you will
-#     lose.  You should consider shell escapes not using their shell,
-#     or else not caring about detailed status.  This should really be
-#     unified into one place, too.
-#   + Fixed bug where invisible trailing whitespace on commands hoses you,
-#     tricking Perl into thinking you weren't calling a debugger command!
-#   + Fixed bug where leading whitespace on commands hoses you.  (One
-#     suggests a leading semicolon or any other irrelevant non-whitespace
-#     to indicate literal Perl code.)
-#   + Fixed bugs that ate warnings due to wrong selected handle.
-#   + Fixed a precedence bug on signal stuff.
-#   + Fixed some unseemly wording.
-#   + Fixed bug in help command trying to call perl method code.
-#   + Fixed to call dumpvar from exception handler.  SIGPIPE killed us.
-#   ENHANCEMENTS:
-#   + Added some comments.  This code is still nasty spaghetti.
-#   + Added message if you clear your pre/post command stacks which was
-#     very easy to do if you just typed a bare >, <, or {.  (A command
-#     without an argument should *never* be a destructive action; this
-#     API is fundamentally screwed up; likewise option setting, which
-#     is equally buggered.)
-#   + Added command stack dump on argument of "?" for >, <, or {.
-#   + Added a semi-built-in doc viewer command that calls man with the
-#     proper %Config::Config path (and thus gets caching, man -k, etc),
-#     or else perldoc on obstreperous platforms.
-#   + Added to and rearranged the help information.
-#   + Detected apparent misuse of { ... } to declare a block; this used
-#     to work but now is a command, and mysteriously gave no complaint.
-#
-# Changes: 1.08: Apr 25, 2001  Jon Eveland <jweveland@yahoo.com>
-#   BUG FIX:
-#   + This patch to perl5db.pl cleans up formatting issues on the help
-#     summary (h h) screen in the debugger.  Mostly columnar alignment
-#     issues, plus converted the printed text to use all spaces, since
-#     tabs don't seem to help much here.
-#
-# Changes: 1.09: May 19, 2001  Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>
-#   Minor bugs corrected;
-#   + Support for auto-creation of new TTY window on startup, either
-#     unconditionally, or if started as a kid of another debugger session;
-#   + New 'O'ption CreateTTY
-#       I<CreateTTY>      bits control attempts to create a new TTY on events:
-#                         1: on fork()
-#                         2: debugger is started inside debugger
-#                         4: on startup
-#   + Code to auto-create a new TTY window on OS/2 (currently one
-#     extra window per session - need named pipes to have more...);
-#   + Simplified interface for custom createTTY functions (with a backward
-#     compatibility hack); now returns the TTY name to use; return of ''
-#     means that the function reset the I/O handles itself;
-#   + Better message on the semantic of custom createTTY function;
-#   + Convert the existing code to create a TTY into a custom createTTY
-#     function;
-#   + Consistent support for TTY names of the form "TTYin,TTYout";
-#   + Switch line-tracing output too to the created TTY window;
-#   + make 'b fork' DWIM with CORE::GLOBAL::fork;
-#   + High-level debugger API cmd_*():
-#      cmd_b_load($filenamepart)            # b load filenamepart
-#      cmd_b_line($lineno [, $cond])        # b lineno [cond]
-#      cmd_b_sub($sub [, $cond])            # b sub [cond]
-#      cmd_stop()                           # Control-C
-#      cmd_d($lineno)                       # d lineno (B)
-#      The cmd_*() API returns FALSE on failure; in this case it outputs
-#      the error message to the debugging output.
-#   + Low-level debugger API
-#      break_on_load($filename)             # b load filename
-#      @files = report_break_on_load()      # List files with load-breakpoints
-#      breakable_line_in_filename($name, $from [, $to])
-#                                           # First breakable line in the
-#                                           # range $from .. $to.  $to defaults
-#                                           # to $from, and may be less than
-#                                           # $to
-#      breakable_line($from [, $to])        # Same for the current file
-#      break_on_filename_line($name, $lineno [, $cond])
-#                                           # Set breakpoint,$cond defaults to
-#                                           # 1
-#      break_on_filename_line_range($name, $from, $to [, $cond])
-#                                           # As above, on the first
-#                                           # breakable line in range
-#      break_on_line($lineno [, $cond])     # As above, in the current file
-#      break_subroutine($sub [, $cond])     # break on the first breakable line
-#      ($name, $from, $to) = subroutine_filename_lines($sub)
-#                                           # The range of lines of the text
-#      The low-level API returns TRUE on success, and die()s on failure.
