ruby-breakpoint 0.5.0 README

ruby-breakpoint lets you inspect and modify state at run time. This allows you to diagnose bugs, patch applications and more all via IRB by simply doing a method call at the place you want to investigate.

ruby-breakpoint is integrated into the popular RubyOnRails and Nitro web development frameworks. In the past it has also been a part of the Ruby dev-utils Project.

ruby-breakpoint is available from ruby-breakpoint.rubyforge.org/ — that web site also is a good place for discussing new features, filing bug reports and so on.

See the NEWS file for the changes that were done in this release.

Requirements

• Ruby >= 1.8.2
• DRb, IRB (usually shipped with Ruby, but not on Debian)
