[ANN] node-inspector updated

[Danny C.]

I'm happy to announce the latest significant version of node-
inspector... v0.1

Get it with: npm install node-inspector

It includes a completely new backend that is much more stable than
v0.0.4. If you've had trouble in the past, this version might work
better for you.

These are the new front-end features I'm most excited about:

* Improved Scope Variables display
- Better object type info
- Inlined Array / Buffer lengths

* Automatically saved application setting (using local storage)
- last file shown
- console history
- watch expressions

* Console object completion on . (dot)

Overall I think this version "feels" much nicer to use.

There are still a few nagging gotchas though. Very large objects,
particularly Buffers, can bring the debugger to it's knees. Fixing
this is difficult and might require a better v8 debug protocol that
can stream data in smaller chunks. But I think to debug large server
applications you will need to be able to examine large objects
effectively.

Also, the profiler panel is still not available in the npm release. I
think it'll be a killer feature when its ready, but needs a lot more
work.

I'm also starting a new series of screencasts in bite size chunks on
the wiki https://github.com/dannycoates/node-inspector/wiki/Screencast-Series
