- AST Breakpoints landed the final changes for finding a breakpoint ast location and setting an ast location when a breakpoint is created. We should be able to land AST Breakpoints this week!
- Async Stepping landed the utilities for identifying async expressions, and the logical "next" statement to step to. Async Stepping will land in the next release.
- WASM We enabled wasm debugging in the new UI and it is now turned on in nightly. Debugging WASM source code in the native language (C, C++) is a blast.
- Worker List added a new Workers right sidebar pane and populating the pane with debuggee workers. The next step is to add the about:debugging util for launching a new toolbox.
- Mapping minified variables started working on mapping minified variables, which will show the the "original" variable name in the scopes pane, and enable preview, watch expressions and the console to work with original * expressions.
- Project Search continued to polish project search. This week we fixed keyboard navigation of streaming results, and made result orders deterministic.
- Syncing CSS removed the theme's CSS class namespace, which will make it easy to sync themes with m-c.
- Accidental Breakpoints fixed and uplifted a bug to 56, where the debugger created new breakpoints when the user changed original code and reloaded.
- File Search improved file search performance and fixed a bug where the debugger would crash on large files.
- Empty Lines landed disabled empty lines where the debugger disables lines that do not have any executable code.
- Photon started styling the debugger for the new photon design. It is looking great!
- Welcome Box styled the welcome box and added some additional shortcuts.
- Release released a new version of the debugger to nightly, which included the last month of work. We'll start getting feedback on it now that it's in nightly.
- Finished move to JSX for all of our components
- Improved testing of intermittents, we now have a script that finds them
- Progress on the AST breakpoints -- we have added a util and tests for finding ast locations. Next step, add to breakpoint syncing
- Improved breakpoints syncing -- we can now delete breakpoints that move outside of a source
- the search combination keys for text are now displayed and style
- Added copy functionality to the context menu of the editor
- new release this week will include project search and outline view
- empty line gutters are no longer going to be clickable: PR
- Async/await stepping is in progress. Jaideep did a lot of great work.

- Project Search is getting close
- Lots of test and code quality fixes
- Lots of small paper cut fixes
- UI Polish
- Bug Fixes
- Project Search
- lots of polish as we prepare for releasing in 56
- breakpoints are more stable
- project text search is getting closer
- wasm support is coming to the debugger
lots happened since the last update:
- Edge Cases: pretty print, symmetric breakpoints, …
- Performance: stepping, preview
- UI: New symbol modal, full project text search
- Experiments: Call Site Breakpoints, Async stepping
It's been a quieter week than last week. This weeks highlights include:

- some new documentation
- WTR runner
We focused this week on getting lots of bugfixes and community prs in

- new styling for the Outline View, big thanks to @amelzer
- searchbar had a lot of improvements
- lots of dependancies were updated, thanks to @zaggy
- further work on getting more frameworks included on our framework frames. Thanks to @andreicristianpetcu
This was a really great week for QA improvements as the debugger is getting more stable each week.
- We now disable out of scope lines when the debugger pauses.
- We have huge updates to preview - it's faster, more consistent, and works for HTML elements
- Breakpoints are kept in sync as code changes. Big thanks to codehag
- We're chipping away at two new features: Outline View and Project Search
We focused this week on UI polish, bug fixing, and performance as we focus on getting ready for the June 15th Firefox 55 release.
- Intelligently place preview popups and tooltips
- Add an option for disabling Framework Frames
- Polish the search bar
- Speed up stepping performance
Here are some highlights from the week:
- 💛 Function highlighting
- 🚓 License checking for our dependencies
- 💅 Lots of UI polish
One of the most interesting debugger questions is what happens when the debugger stops? This post is a quick run-through that will give you some context so that you can dig in and answer your own questions.
