Xdebug 2.9.0 is out!

This release of Xdebug is an end-of-year present that speeds up code coverage by 250% (as compared to Xdebug 2.7). See this article for the full story.

This release adds support to the variable display functionality of Xdebug to include PHP 7.4's new typed properties, and removes the superfluous xdebug.remote_handler setting, and the undocumented profiler aggregate feature.

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.

This release also contains a contribution by: David Carlier — Thanks!
