It is in 1.0.0. Note that a debugging version violates the security policy
because you need to change the build process. That shouldn't matter because a
production version of the library is normally used when a validated version is
needed.

Also note that debugging and in particular introducing breakpoints can
intefere with the FIPS mode integrity test, meaning you get errors attempting
to enter FIPS mode under a debugger. The test would need to be disabled while
debuging.
