Debug Project New and Noteworthy for 3.1M5

Breakpoint organization

The Breakpoints view allows breakpoints to be grouped by type, project, file, or working sets and supports nested groupings. You can use breakpoint working sets to group breakpoints into problem specific sets that can be quickly enabled and disabled as a whole. Newly created breakpoints are automatically placed into the default breakpoint working set, which is displayed with a bold font. You can copy and paste and drag and drop breakpoints between breakpoint working sets, and a breakpoint can be placed in more than one breakpoint working set.
