### What's new in this drop

- Changes in the launch configuration dialog:
  - To free up screen real estate for editing launch configurations, the tree of launch configurations has been made more narrow by removing the "copy" button from the dialog. The "new" button copies a configuration when a configuration is selected, and creates a new configuration (based on the workbench selection) when a configuration type is selected.
  - The "Cancel" button has been replaced with a "Close" button (closing the dialog does not cancel changes). You will be prompted to save unsaved changes.
  - A "Revert" button has been added to the edit area to revert changes on the currently selected launch configuration (under edit).
- Changes to launch behavior
  - Pressing the run or debug toolbar buttons launches the configuration that was last launched (in the workspace), in the appropriate mode (run or debug).
  - To create a new launch configuration, use the cascading menu items on the run or debug menu. For example "New Configuration -> Local Java Application" - this will create a new configuration based on the selection in the workbench (or active editor).
  - "Single-click launching" preference has been removed. It was determined that a preference which changes the behavior of a toolbar button is disorienting to the user.
- Changes to ILaunchManager
  - API for setting default launch configuration types has been removed.

### What's new in this drop

- The debugger now uses the workbench editor re-use policy.
- There is no longer a Process view. The Debug view shows all debug sessions and processes launched. When a workspace is re-started that had a Process view open, an error message will appear explaining that the Process view could not be created.
- The debug action set has been split into two groups - debug and launch. Existing debug and Java perspectives need to be closed and re-opened to obtain run and debug buttons in the toolbar. @see bug 1724.
- There is no longer an Inspector view - it has been replaced with an Expressions view. When a workspace is re-started that had an Inspector view open, an error message will appear explaining the Inspector view could not be created.
- A launch can be annotated with client specific data. @see bug 6481.
- A launch can now contain more than one debug target. API has changed in ILaunch, ILaunchListener, and ILaunchManager to suppport this.

### What's new in this drop

- Procedural Debug API - new debug element interfaces have been defined to support the notion of registers, register groups, memory blocks, and memory block retrieval:
  - IRegister - a register in a register group
  - IRegisterGroup - register groups are available from each stack frame (that supports registers)
  - IMemoryBlock - a contiguos block of bytes from memory allocated by a running program
  - IMemoryBlockRetrieval - support to retrieve arbitrary blocks of memory from a running program

### What's new in this drop

- API Change - method addition - @see ILaunch.getLaunchConfiguration(). This does not break any clients, as the only implementation of ILaunch is org.eclipse.debug.core.Launch, which has been updated.
- API Change - method return value - @see ILaunch.getLauncher(). A launch is now allowed to return null for #getLauncher() when it was created by a launch configuration rather than a launcher. This does not break any clients, as launch configurations are not in use yet. The main client that will have to be updated is the Debug UI.
- New debug preference - "Build (if required) before launch"
