 ## History
 
 * 1.15.x:
-  * Adds a `supportsValueEscaping` capability that indicates whether the debug adapter takes care of escaping newlines in variable values and evaluation results.
   * Adds a `reverseContinue` request.
   * Adds a `restart` request and a corresponding `supportsRestartRequest` capability.
