Hi all.
I'm re-posting this message from the official DBGP plugin forum over at NPP-PLUGINS, because this way more people see it.

Hello again.
It's been a month since last release. Here is the latest with lots of goodies:
- .dll has version info now.
- Breakpoints child display icons instead of some letters.
- Changed one miss-named configuration variable.
- Added menu items for all child windows.
- When connected, mouse dwell tries to evaluate the variable under mouse cursor.
- Moved location of plugin config file. I'm guessing many people (depending on their N++ configuration) will have to re enter their configuration. Sorry. (You can move your old config, C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\Config\dbgp.ini, to the new location c:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Notepad++\plugins\Config\dbgp.ini)
- Menu items get enabled/disabled depending on what state the plugin is in. This should help with understanding what one can and cannot do in a situation.
- Last eval window can be reused.
- "Run to" button. (Temporary breakpoints don't work as they should because of XDebug)
- Watch window. You can open a watch windows and add watched variables. They will get evaluated every step.
- Var child shows changes in data tree. If a var changed, it gets colored red; this goes for both context windows, reused eval and watches.
The plugin is still in alpha state. I think than I'm about done with adding features, but the are still a few bugs that need to be fixed, some are out of my hands for now.
Happy debugging.
