+* The :mod:`pdb` debugger module gained a number of usability improvements:
+
+ - :file:`pdb.py` now has a ``-c`` option that executes commands as given in a
+ :file:`.pdbrc` script file.
+ - A :file:`.pdbrc` script file can contain ``continue`` and ``next`` commands
+ that continue debugging.
+ - The :class:`Pdb` class constructor now accepts a *nosigint* argument.
+ - new commands: ``l(list)``, ``ll(long list`` and ``source`` for
+ listing source code.
+ - new commands: ``display`` and ``undisplay`` for showing or hiding
+ the value of an expression if it has changed.
+ - new command: ``interact`` for starting an interative interpreter containing
+ the global and local names found in the current scope.
+ - breakpoints can be cleared by breakpoint number
