no, first because it will be some work to be backported in 1.5.x, then ...

The project policy is that released major versions get only bug fixes 
and documentation improvements, resulting in minor versions. New 
features are in devel version and we do major releases every 6 to 8 
months to ensure availability of new features pretty quickly along with 
a not-hard-to-do upgrade. 3.0.0 was a bit out of the pattern due to 
unusual devel cycle that was integration with ser. Next major version 
will be more straightforward to upgrade from 3.0.0.

Thus debugger will be actually in 3.1.0 (in few months), as 3.0.0 was 
released. But is easier to backport to 3.0 if someone really wants it.

Cheers,
Daniel
