This file sums up important changes that happened between releases.

ruby-breakpoint 0.5.1

Moved functionality of bin/breakpoint_client to lib/breakpoint_client.rb and changed it so that it will respect previously set Options. (Should make it easier for other libraries to integrate ruby-breakpoint with custom options.)
Fixed trouble with .irbrc on remote breakpoint server when calling DRb.activate_drb (see dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/803)
Fixed client.y not working (Need to undef DRbObject#to_yaml)
Fixed client << 5 and similar not working
Fixed client.require not working with some RubyGems versions
WorkSpace#evaluate no longer extends strings and numerics with DRbUndumped (Works around "DRb::DRbObject#to_str should return String" style bugs)
Documented bug in Binding.of_caller() that causes Breakpoint.breakpoint() to have a wrong object context. breakpoint() works correctly.

breakpoint_client has better logic for guessing the client-uri automatically. This ought to fix connection errors that were happening because the client service was bound to the wrong network interface.
Traced down the origin of SecurityError problems to a bug in Ruby 1.8.1 and early 1.8.2 releases. If you’re experiencing this you can usually fix it by compiling the Ruby 1.8.2 available from ruby-lang.org. See the FAQ on the homepage for more information on this.
Support for drbunix:/ URIs — this allows communication via files on Unix based platforms. It is more secure than ACLs + socket communication on shared hosts.
Fixed a bug in Breakpoint.deactivate_drb that was happening when calling it from the breakpoint IRB session.
Improved documentation in a few minor areas.
