The public release of DDD-3.4.0 is now available in the Download Area at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddd.
There have been significant improvements in the build process, updates to current OS and library versions, a number of bug fixes, and several enhancements, especially in the handling of UTF-8. See the ANNOUNCE and NEWS files in the distribution for more details.
DDD's maintainers are Stefan Eickler and Michael Eager.
Release candidate 3.4.0-rc2 is available. You can find it at http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/ddd.
The build process of DDD is streamlined and updated to current versions of the toolchain. The interfaces to inferior debuggers (GDB and remake) and to Gnuplot are updated.
This is the public release of DDD 3.3.12.
It features much improved support for debugging Python, Bash and Make, as well as various bug fixes.
It is available immediately at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddd
Here is the second, and quite possibly final, release candidate for DDD 3.3.12.
If DDD crashes with a fatal signal (hopefully an infrequent occurrence), it should now provide a decent stack trace in the log file. Thanks to Shaunak Saha for fixing this bug.
The latest release candidate once more contains PDF and Postscript versions of the DDD manual, which were missing from rc1 due to some corruption of the figures.
You can find the new tarball, and its signature, here:

The last official release of DDD, 3.3.11, was made on 16th March 2005, well over three years ago.
But, DDD developers have not been idle.
Rocky Bernstein in particular has done some great work in his "pydb" branch. DDD can now be used effectively in debugging Python programs (pydb), Bash scripts (bashdb) and Makefiles (remake)...
So, I'd like to announce the immediate availability of a release candidate, ddd-3.3.12-rc1. You can download it via ftp from alpha.gnu.org:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/ddd/ddd-3.3.12-rc1.tar.gz
Please grab it, compile (./configure && make && make install) and test. We are ready to receive bug reports as always on our bug tracker at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=ddd
We'd like to hear about your experience with the new debugger facilities.
But, it's just as important to know of any regressions before we put out a new version. Is there anything that used to work in 3.3.11 which doesn't work now? With the extensive changes which have been made there's almost sure to be something, and now's the chance to get it fixed.
