Drop frame in debugger

Now you can use the Drop frame action when debugging JavaScript and Node.js. This can be helpful to re-enter a function if you missed a critical spot you would like to see again.

Different highlighting for TSLint errors and warnings

WebStorm now respects severity levels selected for rules enabled in the TSLint configuration file. By default, the errors will now be highlighted with a red squiggly line, while warnings will be marked with a yellow background.
