Pharo 4 debugger

In Pharo 3.0 there was a Add/Remove breakpoint (experimental) method popup menu option. I do not see this capability in version 4.0. Is this feature still available or has it been removed? If still available, then how does one get it instantiated?

No, it was removed.
(we moved from "old" compiler to Opal and had to remove the decompiler. Without a working decompiler, the debugger showed wrong code when stepping through a method with breakpoints)

In pharo 5, we have a new kind of breakpoints, but they don't work well at the moment.

Yes, I am working on it… soon. I hope that this will all be finished until end of November.
