Xdebug 3.0
summary
Xdebug 3.0 is a near-total rewrite that refactors the codebase, separates features into cohesive modules, and adds modes: off/debug/step/tracer/profiler/coverage so only needed subsystems run. Key fixes include changing breakpoint logic — breakpoint search reduced from 10 to 5 lines — and better handling with OPcache and PHP FPM port conflicts. Plans include a local CI that runs many PHP versions and nightly builds, tracer/profiler separation, code‑coverage filters that speed runs 2–4×, and a time‑travel playback mode for offline debugging.
