<td class="content">
Users can now navigate to a variable’s declaration directly from the Variables view during a debug session, making it easier to trace variables—especially in methods with numerous local variables.
<br><br>
Choose <b>Navigate to Declaration</b> from context menu of variables

<td class="title">Auto-Resuming Trigger Points</td>
<td class="content">
Trigger points can now be configured to automatically resume execution when hit, allowing breakpoints after the trigger point to be activated while skipping those before it,
enabling more focused and efficient debugging workflows.
<br><br>
On enabling a trigger point a new option will be shown its left to <b>Continue execution </b> on hit or not
<p>
<img src="images/TriggerEnabled.png" alt="Triggerpoint Enabled" />
</p><br>
<br><br>
Once <b>Continue execution on hit</b> is toggled, breakpoint label will update to <b>[Resume on hit]</b> meaning it wont suspend on hit
<p>
<img src="images/TriggerContinue.png" alt="Triggerpoint Continue" />
</p><br>
<br><br>
Resume trigger also supports conditions, meaning if condition is met true it will resume the execution else it will suspend
<p>
<img src="images/ResumeWithCondition.png" alt="Resume-Triggerpoint with conditions" />
</p><br>
<br><br>
Now when you run in debug, Trigger point wont hit, allowing you to skip previous breakpoints and hit on the actual breakpoint you need to focus. <br><br>
For example, here <i>Resume trigger</i> was set on line number 7 and during debugging it hit on line number 8 by skipping all the previous breakpoints
