That's great news.
I'm interested in seeing non-stop multi-thread debugging support working
in Linux and in having it usable via the command line interface, so I'm
willing to help in those areas (not sure how much work/test you'll be
doing in Linux, since you mention your focus is the client's OS).
I'll keep an eye on the design discussions, and especially the "it would
be nice if someone would implement this" parts for Linux/CLI..
