Fix `up` through generators in postmortem debugger...
Fix `up` through generators in postmortem debugger By passing the lowest traceback element into the debugger, we require it to use frame.f_back to find older frames. However, f_back is always None for generator frames. By providing a higher-up traceback element, pdb can traverse down the traceback.tb_next links, which do work correctly across generator calls. Furthermore, pdb will not do the right thing if it is provided with a frame/traceback pair that do not correspond to each other - it will duplicate parts of the callstack. Instead, we provide None as a frame, which will cause the debugger to start at the deepest frame, which is the desired behavior here.

Documenting What's New

When making a new pull request that either adds a new feature, or makes a
backwards-incompatible change to IPython, please add a new .rst file in this
directory documenting this change as a part of your Pull Request.

This will allow multiple Pull Requests to do the same without conflicting with
one another. Periodically, IPython developers with commit rights will run a
script and populate development.rst
with the contents of this directory, and clean it up.

Files which describe new features can have any name, such as
antigravity-feature.rst, whereas backwards incompatible changes must have
have a filename starting with incompat-, such as
incompat-switching-to-perl.rst. Our "What's new" files always have two
sections, and this prefix scheme will make sure that the backwards incompatible
changes get routed to their proper section.

To merge these files into :file:whatsnew/development.rst, run the script :file:tools/update_whatsnew.py.
