Changelog of @hackage/haskell-debugger 0.9.0.0

Revision history for haskell-debugger

Allow defaults for all settings except entryFile and return a proper error in that case
Fix bug that crashed debugger when attempting to load newtype constructor closure
Fix bug that broke displaying newtype variables
(Vscode) Allow the debugger to be run without a launch.json file
Don't display functions as a forceable thunk, instead just the type
Add --version flag

Fix line buffering of debuggee output (thus, stepping through a print line, will indeed print it to the console now).
- In fact, this was only caused by not building with --enable-executable-dynamic

Improve unit handling and fix running when main functions exist across different units
- Add interactive home unit id
- The entry file determines which of the mains to run.
Add proper option parsing
Add preview version of hdb cli interactive mode, as an alternative to DAP server
- Experimental and incomplete
Fix: output uncaught exceptions to stderr
Fix: output eval completed result to console

Compatibility with GHC 9.14
Add support for stepping out of functions as a tech preview
Use implicit cradle discovery to better support multiple configurations, mirroring HLS (and thus providing a more similar experience)
Query the GHC runtime version via hie-bios, now honoring e.g. with-compiler: ... in cabal.project to fetch the right GHC version
Rename package from ghc-debugger to haskell-debugger, and ghc-debug-adapter to hdb, to be consistent with other tools and ecosystems and to avoid ambiguity with ghc-debug (program heap analysis library and tool)
Use cache directories for hdb to have faster startup times. This will only be enabled for compilers supporting the upcoming .gbc (compiled bytecode artifact) files.
