V0.4.7-pre1

• Fixed a regression for STLink gdbserver. It was in fact accidentally working in prior releases. The real bug is now fixed

V0.4.5

• Support for resume/suspend after Launch/Attach. With new UI features added to VSCode, the Stop button (after Launch) can now also be used for a Disconnect using keyboard shortcuts. The reverse is true when using an Attach type session. But this requires co-operation from the gdb-server to comply. Certain versions of OpenOCD do comply, JLink always seems to resume (see issue $481). Provided the gdb-server cooperates, the expected behavior now when you end a debug session is:
  • Stop will leave the program in a halted state
  • Disconnect will let the program continue
• You can now have RTT console output lines contain a timestamp. Use the timestamp option for the RTT decoder. Default is false (no timestamp)
• Issues #482 addressed for JLink. It always cleanly exits on it own. OpenOCD is still an issue where it has to be killed which once in a blue moon does not seem to work.
• Integrated PR #480 -- creates .vscode director if it doesn't exist for saving register/peripheral states.
• PRs #489, #490, #488, #478 submitted by @trond-snekvik merged. They fix issues and enhances your experience with Cortex-Debug in various ways. Thank you @trond-snekvik

V0.4.5-pre3

• Support for resume/suspend after Launch/Attach. With new features added to VSCode, the Stop button (after Launch) can now also be used for a Disconnect using keyboard shortcuts. The reverse is true when using an Attach type session. But this requires co-operation from the gdb-server to comply. Certain versions of OpenOCD do comply, JLink always seems to resume.
• Issues #482 and #481 partially addressed
• Integrated PR #480 -- creates .vscode director if it doesn't exist for saving register/peripheral states.

V0.4.4

See ChangeLog for details. Lots of new features
https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v044

• Reset button
• Run without Debugging
• Auto-continue
• etc.

V0.4.3

V0.4.3

• Registers (CPU and Peripheral) now indicate with a highlighted value, which ones changed since last update. Other windows don't track changed values since they are managed by VSCode and no API avaibale.
• Line-based Breakpoints now visually indicate which line a breakpoint is actually set when different from what was requested. Normal VSCode behavior is to revert back to the original line when debug session ends.
• Perhpieral update will try to update as much as possible instead of bailing entire peripheral update after a single memory read failure. Failed reads are now indicated with 0xffffffff

V0.4.2

Please see https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md for details

V0.4.1

The clearSearch option was not working as intended. Affects OpenOCD users more than others.

V0.4.0

It is a BIG one. Please see the following for details of this release

https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

V0.4.0.pre2

• Support for RTT (SEGGER Real Time Trace) with OpenOCD and JLink. See Issue#456 for more info
  • You can plot RTT data just like you could with SWO. The setup in launch.json is identical. See this comment
  • Channel sharing: You can use the same RTT channels in multiple ways. Corte-Debug reads the channel data from OpenOCD/JLink once and distributes to all subscribers (terminals & graphs). For instance, you can plot a channel and also look at its binary data in a terminal. Just use two decoders with the same channel (actually called port) number.
  • JLink RTT has a limitation that it can ONLY work with one channel (channel 0). There is another artifact with RTT channels where you may see output from a previous run at the very beginning.
  • The default polling interval in OpenOCD is 100 ms. If you are outputting more frequently, try lowering the interval in launch.json. 10ms seems more acceptable as a tradeoff between creating bus traffic and not losing/blocking data. If nothing changes, then OpenOCD does do much even if the interval is small.
• SWO console and binary decoded text data now appears in a "TERMINAL" tab instead in the "OUTPUT" tab
• All gdb-server (OpenOCD, JLink, etc.) output is also in the "TERMINAL" tab. In there you can also interact with your semihosting
• Support in debugger for Jump to Cursor, thanks to PR#417
• demangle is on by default. You can turn it off in launch.json
• A change in this pre-release, you will see some debug information in the gdb-server console. You will also see messages output by the extension that are not part of the actual output in bright magenta. This will happen in all terminals (RTT, SWO and console)
• WARNING: The Adapter Output window in the OUTPUT tab will go away. Replaced by the 'gdb-server' in the TERMINAL tab.
