A fork of ruby-debug that works on 1.9.2 and 1.9.3

After getting frustrated with ruby debug on 1.9.3, I realized that pry-nav and pry-stack-explorer are an excellent replacement for ruby-debug. After using pry for a while, I doubt I will return to using irb and ruby-debug.

Unfortunately using pry-nav with pry has some limitations that ruby-debug doesn't: 1. It doesn't seem to work in some cases (like putting binding.pry in a Proc.new { ... } 2. On Windows, binding.pry works when directly embedded in a ruby script, but when put into code such as a Rails controller or model then several things don't work properly ('whereami' will show it doesn't have context.. though this works fine on Linux)

For these reasons, I still find ruby-debug better for actual debugging (when step/next are necessary) and pry better for inspecting state at a particular moment in time (but I can just call pry from the ruby-debug in that case)

I've switched to Pry

Shouldn't ruby-debug be part of ruby? I've been super annoyed when new ruby versions come without a working debugger.

Switched to Pry and probably will not look back in a near future...am I missing something here?

ha, just shared http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3797489

taking a look.

I have been using ruby-debug with 1.9.3 for a while now and have not had issues. Don't really understand why this fork was needed.
