Version 0.32 fixes some long-standing problems with wrong line numbers
and some other bugs. It also adds a couple new features that I think
will be of benefit to many people including patches add bashdb support
to ddd, a GUI front end. Also added was a useful examine command ("x")
analogous to the Perl5 debugger command of the same name. If you
upgrade infrequently, this is probably a version you should get.
If you ever need to debug bash code, configure scripts or understand
RedHat's init scripts with their many source includes, this is the
debugger for you. At this point, bashdb should be fairly stable.
For more information on the recent changes, see the NEWS file inside
the package (in bash-2.05b-debugger-0.32/debugger/NEWS) or the
