    don't think I need it after years of using prints and var_dumps, but wondering if it exists? and how it looks like? Does it allow to go run step by step, inspecting variables, etc - old C style?

    Xdebug 2.2.0 is out!

    This is the first version of Xdebug that supports PHP 5.4. Besides PHP 5.4 support, this release introduces a few new features into Xdebug. The main one is support for an overloaded var_dump() on the command line. For other improvements, please refer to the updates page.
