Version 2 of the debugger supports post execution logging, meaning that programmers now can "insert" logging statements into code after the application has already run.

The results are instant. Even if your program ran for 5 hours and you put a logging statement on a line that is normally hit after 4 hours, Chronon will instantly show you the results.
