MOVE TO USER GUIDE:

In order to make MPS more modular, the debugger API and the Java debugger itself were moved into separate MPS plugins. This allows the user to completely turn the functionality off when not needed. A migration script to upgrade code to the new debugger API has been included in the MPS 2.5 migration wizard. Additionally, a migration script named "Fix references to debugger classes" is available for manual execution.

New debugger features introduced in MPS 2.5:

1. In the generic debugger:
   • Cell-based highlighting in tables.
