> DDD is still maintained?

Absolutely. I wrote about its features here https://begriffs.com/posts/2022-07-17-debugging-gdb-ddd.html

Since the article was written, the maintainers fixed the issues I pointed out. No need for many of those workarounds now. Versions 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 are substantial.

Is there any URL that lists what's new in v3.4.0 and v3.4.1?

The DDD website ( https://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/ ) points to the source tar.gz and the full manual, but nothing that says "What's New" in recent versions.

Might not be as direct as you'd like, but all well managed¹ GNU projects ship a NEWS file in their tarball. In this case you can also read it from savannah² without fetching the tarball.

¹ https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#NEWS-File

² https://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/ddd/trunk/doc/NEWS?view=...
