V0.4.8-pre5

• Store register/peripheral settings in the appropriate folder instead of the first folder
• Kill gdb-server if the user kills/exits gdb without using the proper disconnect/Stop buttons/process/commands
• VSCode was terminating Cortex-Debug before it was done. st-util exit behavior was also not clean as it did not exit on a disconnect.
• Preliminary support for data watchpoints
• SVD now can allow no merge of consecutive addresses with a -1 specified for svdAddrGapThreshold. This will make peripheral updates very slow but certain devices may need this option.
• You can now save the output of a gdb-server into a text file by specifying cortex-debug.dbgServerLogfile in User/Workspace/Folder settings. This will save output from the servers from all sessions (not just the recent ones). This is primarily for debugging and for users when submitting issues.
• Pathnames for gdb-servers can be OS-specific. For instance cortex-debug.openocdPath can be suffixed with one of .linux, .osx or .windows. For instance cortex-debug.openocdPath.windows is used only on Windows and if that is missing, it will default looking for cortex-debug.openocdPath`.
• SWO output can now be logged (saved) to a file just like RTT output
• Issues #524 and #525

Please see the article below for Install instructions for a VSIX file. Do not double click on it on Windows as that will attempt to install into Visual Studio rather than VSCode
