JDE-2.1.6beta20 Release Notes
=============================

* Implemented color customization of the JDEbug breakpoint marker.

  To customize the color, select JDEbug->Preferences or type
  M-x customize-variable jde-bug-breakpoint-marker-colors. Enter
  the desired foreground and background colors and set the variable.

* Implemented persistent breakpoints.

  To save a breakpoint, select JDEbug->Preferences or enter
  M-x customize-variable jde-bug-saved-breakpoints. Select
  the INS button in the variable's customization area to
  add a breakpoint. Enter the name of the source file and
  line number where you want the breakpoint to occur. Then
  set the variable.

  Note that setting breakpoints by file name can lead to
  ambiguities when the same file name occurs in different
  packages. A future release will allow you to specify a
  qualified class name to resolve such ambiguities.

* Fixed a number of Cygwin/XEmacs incompatibilities.

  Thanks to Fred Hart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for providing the
  fixes.

* Fixed "search-end-post" error when setting jdb breakpoints.
