Subject: nemiver release 0.5.0 now available

Hello,

There's been a long time since the last nemiver release.

Despite distractions like work or family life we hopefully got
a chance to add some interesting features, hammer out
quite a number of bugs and improve the overall debugging
performance.

The result should a snappier and more robust debugger,
modulo the new bugs we introduced, of course ;-)

I would like to thank Jonathon Jongsma,
Baptiste "crevette" Mille-Mathias and all the people who did contribute
to this release.

Now the real meat:


What is it?
===========
nemiver is a standalone graphical debugger that integrates well in the
GNOME desktop environment.
It currently features a backend which uses the GNU debugger gdb for
debugging C/C++ programs.

Where to get it?
================
This release is available as a source package in tar.gz format
and can be downloaded from: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/nemiver/

What's Changed?
===============
