As the first new release in more than one year, GNU DDD 3.4.1 is now available as a GUI front-end to the GNU Debugger (GDB).

The Data Display Debugger (DDD) provides an interactive graphical data display to GDB as well as other command-line debuggers. With the DDD 3.4.1 release there is now dark mode GUI support, support for client side fonts, better UTF-8 support, improved macOS support, support for parallel make when building, 15+ bug fixes, and a variety of other improvements to this GDB front-end.

Some of the other debuggers supported with DDD besides GDB that continue to be supported are PyDB, Remake, Bashdb, the Perl debugger, JDB, and others. The [1]mailing list announcement for DDD 3.4.1 sums up this first release since May 2023 as:
