Line 19: == History == Script Debugger version 1.0 was released in 1995 by [[Mark Alldritt]] as a [[Third-party software component\|third-party]] alternative to Apple's [[freeware]] application, [[Apple Developer Tools#Script Editor\|Script Editor]]. Its competitors at that time included [[ScriptWizard]] and [[Main Event Software]]'s popular [[Scripter (software)\|Scripter]]. These two products today are defunct, leaving ~~as the~~ only ~~other competitors in the field~~ [[Satimage]]'s [[Smile (software)\|Smile]] and [[integrated development environment]]s such as [[FaceSpan]] (also from Late Night) and [[AppleScript Studio]] as Script Debugger's current competitors in the field. From version 1 on the program contained several notable features: it was "scriptable," (it could be used to create scripts to control itself), ''recordable'', (it could create scripts based on user actions), and ''attachable'', (scripts could be written to respond to [[Event-driven programming\|events]]). More importantly, Script Debugger now allowed inspection of running applications to see what events they were emitting. True to its name, the new utility also contained a full debugger, with support for breakpoints.
