The second public release of the extended Python debugger is now
available from sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61395&package_id=175827

For this release documentation has been added. That is also available
online at: http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/pydb/lib/index.html

A lot of important changes were made and changes that will facilitate
growth.

The ability to do non-interactive POSIX-shell line tracing was added,
and debugger output can be redirected. This should help out in
situations such as CGI's where there is no terminal or interactivity
is not possible.

Regression tests were added to ensure quality, and lo' bugs
were found. Debugger command options were added.

More information can be found in the NEWS file that comes with the
distribution.

Given the feedback on the pdb.py debuggers (i.e. it's just not used
all that often), compatibility with that has been deprecated where it
conflicts with other debuggers.

I've only tested this on GNU/Linux, OSX Solaris and cygwin using
Python versions 2.3.5 and 2.4.2.
