0.38 Tue Apr 12 14:47:24 BST 2005
     - optimisation: only scan for plugins on start of backend

     - in ebug and ebug_http, allow examining a variable using YAML

0.37 Tue Apr  5 22:55:18 CST 2005
     - moved ebug code into Devel::ebug::Console
     - moved the backend into Devel::ebug::Backend
     - major refactoring of Devel::ebug::Backend: move everything to
       subroutines, pass the context around
     - major refactoring to place functionality in plugins (patch by
       Simon Wistow)
     - fix a problem with code references (spotted by nadim) - we now
       use YAML instead of Storable
     - make stack_trace_human deal with undef strings, list refs, hash
       refs, and objects in arguments
     - new pad_human method for a human-readable pad view
     - in ebug_http, allow you to set simple break points and run
     - be sure to produce valid XHTML
     - added support for invoking the debugger by sending a signal
       (requested by Sam Vilain)

0.36 Sun Apr  3 20:56:56 CST 2005
     - total rearrange of Devel::ebug::HTTP and increase in
       documentation (thanks to Mark Fowler)
     - create valid XML no matter what the variables or code contains
       (thanks to Mark Fowler)
     - correct the =head1 NAME of ebug and ebug_http (spotted by Smylers)
     - stack_trace_human is now more robust
     - Test::Expect doesn't work under Windows, so don't require or
       use it in Windows environments - this means we now require
       Module::Build (spotted by Johan Lindstrom)
     - make codelines() remove DOS as well as UNIX newlines (spotted
       by Johan Lindstrom)
     - in ebug, l 40 will to set the number of lines to list (patch by

0.35 Sat Apr  2 23:34:56 CST 2005
     - added undo method which undos the last action
     - in ebug_http, using the back button in the browser actually
       steps backwards in the program (suggested by autrijus)
     - in ebug_http, use monikers for blessed objects and make the
       stack trace use a smaller font
     - in ebug, restart the program instead of exiting at the end of
       the program (suggested by obra)
     - in ebug_http, restart the program instead of stopping the
       webserver at the end of the program
     - added stack_trace_human method for a human-readable stack trace
     - pointed out ebug and ebug_http in the docs

       - L toggles (patch by Johan Lindstrom)
     - fix a problem where we were displaying the wrong codelines in
       modules with POD
     - now use the environment instead of the command line to pass the
       secret for portability (patch by Johan Lindstrom)

     - autrijus noticed that 0.29 shipped with a broken ebug. to keep
       me from embarassing myself in future, there is now an ebug.t
       which uses the newly-released Test::Expect
     - codelines() now returns an array

       passed
