When the 3.4.0 release was published, users found a few issues where Xdebug would crash when it was deciding whether any feature needed to be activated through a trigger.

In December, I spend a lot of time tracking this down, and made several attempts at a fix. In the end, the real cause ended up being a problem where applications had created a reference to a super-global. Xdebug did not correctly dereference this special internal PHP variable information.

Over the holiday period, several users tested out this fix and confirmed that it indeed worked. I didn't manage to release Xdebug 3.4.1 before the year was over, but will come early in January.

I have created no new Xdebug videos in the last month.

All Xdebug videos can be watched on my channel.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to reach out to me on Mastodon or via email.

On GitHub sponsors, I am currently 40% towards my $2,500 per month goal, which is set to allow continued maintenance of Xdebug.

If you are leading a team or company, then it is also possible to support Xdebug through a subscription.

In the last month, no new business supporters signed up.

Besides business support, I also maintain a Patreon page, a profile on GitHub sponsors, as well as an OpenCollective organisation.

If you want to contribute to specific projects, you can find those on the Projects page.

Xdebug Cloud is the Proxy As A Service platform to allow for debugging in more scenarios, where it is hard, or impossible, to have Xdebug make a connection to the IDE. It is continuing to operate as Beta release.

Packages start at £49/month, and I have recently introduced a package for larger companies. This has a larger initial set of tokens, and discounted extra tokens.

If you want to be kept up to date with Xdebug Cloud, please sign up to the mailinglist, which I will use to send out an update not more than once a month.
