• Update dependencies for ghc 9.14
• Add missing transformers bounds
• Extract ghc-debug-client async interface into separate module
• Implement asynchronous heap traversal for arr words
• Implement stringAnalysis in terms of its async variant
• Fix unused import warnings and remove commented out code

0.7.0.0 -- 2025-05-20

• Relax version bounds

0.6.0.0 -- 2024-04-10

• Properly handle exceptions in parralel traversals
• Fix snapshotting when extra blocks are requested by RequestBlock
• Support for profiling RTS

0.5.0.0 -- 2023-06-06

• Remove eventlog2html dependency and hence profile function. These can be implemented in your own library if you want to use them.
• Update with support for ghc-9.4 and ghc-9.6.
• Add support for debugging over a TCP socket (withDebuggeeConnectTCP)

0.4.0.1 -- 2023-03-09

• Relax some version bounds and use eventlog2html 0.9.3

0.4 -- 2022-12-14

• Add support for tracing SRTs. This is quite an invasive change which adds a new pointer type to the DebugClosure type. This change is reflected in the API for parTrace and traceFrom.

• The Quadtraverse abstraction is generalised to Quintraverse to account for this new type parameter.

0.3 -- 2022-10-06

• Abstract away tracing functions to allow configuration of progress reporting.
• Add stringAnalysis and arrWordsAnalysis in GHC.Debug.Strings
• Make block decoding more robust if the cache lookup fails for some reason.
• Fix bug in snapshots where we weren't storing stack frame source locations or version.

0.2.1.0 -- 2022-05-06

• Fix findRetainersOfConstructorExact

0.2.0.0 -- 2021-12-06

• Second version.

0.1.0.0 -- 2021-06-14
