Xdebug 2.7.0alpha1 is out!

This is an alpha release of the Xdebug 2.7 series.

The main reason for this release is the introduction of a resolution to an issue, in which Xdebug now allows for working remote debugging of scripts that fork processes. Previously, Xdebug got confused when an already existing debugging connection was shared among parent and child processes. This releases addresses this by attempting to create a separate connection for each child process. The resolution of this issue was sponsored by Brad Wilson.

This release also contains some fixes made on the 2.6 branch.

The full list of changes can be found on the updates page.

The source code and Windows binaries can be found on the downloads page, and as usual, Xdebug is installable through PECL.
