Changes for version 0.65 - 2026-09-21

  • Fix ^C (SIGINT) while running killing the console instead of dropping back into the debugger (gh#27, gh#55)
  • Document the ebug console's interactive commands (gh#32, gh#56)
  • Document that `perl -d:ebug` is not a supported way to invoke the debugger (gh#25, gh#56)
  • Fix 'next' permanently losing the ability to stop the debuggee after stepping over a sub whose call chain dies internally and catches its own exception (as eg. Tk widgets do for feature detection); this could show up as a Tk window appearing too early, or the debugger hanging altogether (gh#26)
