BF Debug 0.2 is released

Version 0.2 has a number of significant changes over the previous version, including full support from the debugging screen, single step instructions, breakpoints, and other features commonly found in an IDE for most other languages.

This project is essentially an IDE for developing software using the Brainf*** programming language. I've been able to develop several programs with this tool, and it has been very useful to tweak problems and identify especially inside loops where problems in the BF programs are.

There are still some features that are in the future roadmap for this project, including a reorganization of the main editing window, interactive programming (more typical of console-based implementations of Brainf***), and some possible extensions to the language. Some tutorials will also be added at some point to the program itself, to make this useful for an introduction to programming. This version introduces some of this by giving a BF "cheat sheet" that shows what each of the instructions types (or commandos in Brainf*** lingo).
