+#### 0.10.0
+- Add `DebugDevice` command to `SKABaseDevice`.  This allows remote debugging to be
   enabled on all devices.  It cannot be disabled without restarting the process.
-
+  If there are multiple devices in a device server, debugging is only enabled for
+  the requested device (i.e., methods patched for debugging cppTango threads).
+  However, all Python threads (not cppTango threads), will also be debuggable,
+  even if created by devices other than the one that was used to enable debugging.
+  There is only one debugger instance shared by the whole process.
+  
 #### 0.9.1
 - Changed dependency from `ska_logging` to `ska_ser_logging`.
