It’s also what I understood from what I read but I assume it was just a poor choice of word. Debug symbols are way too important for debugging to be stripped by default.

In fact, this new default will be used for any profile which does not enable debuginfo anywhere in its dependency chain, not just for the release profile.

On reflection I imagine the debug profile does enable this

I guess it may use external debug symbols and strip them from the binary by default.

Otherwise seems like a massive change haha
