Great!
Excuse my ignorance, I never used the standalone debugger, so if you point me to a documentation page, I can test it on my Berry (I just got a new one, with 8 GB of RAM! Really nice and capable toy!)

I see the mac archive is no longer a .dmg, but a .tar.gz, which I personally prefer more.
Was there any decision on no longer using .dmg?
The standalone debugger has not been a dmg for a long time - I don't know the circumstances as they predate by involvement in the project. The "no longer" is probably because you are comparing the EPP project which does ship a dmg to the CDT standalone debugger.
AFAIK the biggest consumer of the CDT Standalone Debugger is being included as packages in Linux distributions. I have no idea if anyone uses the macosx version.
HTH,
