  Own Id: OTP-6725

### 1.2 Debugger 3.1.1

#### 1.2.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Removed some dead code from `dbg_ieval`.
  Own Id: OTP-6552

### 1.3 Debugger 3.1

#### 1.3.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The interpreter could not handle the case where an expression that should evaluate to a fun referred to uninterpreted code.
  Own Id: OTP-6061 Aux Id: seq10295
- Timeout for `gen_server` calls within Debugger is now set to `infinity`.
  Own Id: OTP-6103

#### 1.3.2 Improvements and New Features

- Notification windows are now centered over a parent window.
  Own Id: OTP-6011 Aux Id: OTP-5987
- When interpreting a module, it is now checked that the module does not belong to the Kernel, STDLIB, GS or Debugger application, as interpreting a module used by the debugger/interpreter itself will lead to a deadlock or emulator crash.
  Also `int:interpretable(Mod)` has been extended to return `{error,{app,App}}` if `Mod` belongs to one of the above applications.
  Own Id: OTP-6020
- `andalso`/`orelse` is now supported.
  Own Id: OTP-6021 Aux Id: OTP-5894

### 1.4 Debugger 3.0.1

#### 1.4.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- When evaluating a guard expression for a fun function clause, the environment variable bindings were not taken into account.
  Own Id: OTP-5837

#### 1.4.2 Improvements and New Features

- A number of smaller improvements to the GUI:
  - Multiple choices now possible in Function Break Dialog Window.
  - Right-clicking the Module entry in a Break Dialog Window will open a popup menu from which the appropriate (interpreted) module can be selected.
  - Auto Attach options can now be changed using the buttons in the left part of the Monitor Window, not only by the corresponding menu buttons.
  - Buttons for enabling and disabling all breakpoints have been added.
  - View Module Window keyboard shortcuts corrected.
  Own Id: OTP-4284

### 1.5 Debugger 3.0

#### 1.5.1 Improvements and New Features

- Debugger can now handle `try-catch`. This meant large parts of the interpreter had to be rewritten. Also, some small changes to the GUI have been made.
  Own Id: OTP-5730

### 1.6 Debugger 2.3.3

#### 1.6.1 Improvements and New Features

- It is now possible to encrypt the debug information in Beam files, to help keep the source code secret. See the documentation for compile on how to provide the key for encrypting, and the documentation for beam_lib on how to provide the key for decryption so that tools such as the Debugger, Xref, or Cover can be used.
  The `beam_lib:chunks/2` functions now accepts an additional chunk type '`compile_info`' to retrieve the compilation information directly as a term. (Thanks to Tobias Lindahl.)
