3 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
7 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
9 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
11 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
13 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
15 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set
16 immediately, can be set. This helps debug shared libraries and
17 dynamically loaded modules.
21 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
25 Fixed parsing of stack frames for recent gdbs.
27 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
30 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
34 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
36 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
38 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
40 Improved toolbar and application icons.
44 Now compiles for KDE 3.
46 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
48 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
49 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
53 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
55 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
57 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
59 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
62 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
66 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
68 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
70 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
74 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
75 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
77 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
79 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
81 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
83 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
84 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
85 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
89 Working directory can be browsed for.
91 Added context menu to move the selected expression from the local
92 variables window to the watch window.

123 Made Delete key work in the watch window.
125 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
127 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
129 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
130 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
134 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
136 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
140 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
141 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
143 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
145 Made tab width a user-settable option.
149 Display disassembled code.
153 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
155 By default, do not log communication with gdb.
157 Added an integrated output window (based on code by Judin Max).
159 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
160 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
161 terminal emulation needed for the program.
165 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
167 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
169 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
171 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
172 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
174 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
175 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.
179 Save and restore watched expressions.
181 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
183 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead

186 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
190 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
191 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
193 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
197 Support builddir != srcdir.
201 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
205 Removal of minor misfeatures.
207 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
208 --with-kde-version=2).
210 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
211 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
213 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
214 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.

220 Fix structs with no (additional) data members and other fixes
223 Save window size across sessions.
225 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
226 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.
230 Fixed non-displaying QString (Qt2) with certain gdb 4.17's (at least
231 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
233 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
235 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
237 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
239 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
240 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
244 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
245 (Execution|Arguments).
247 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
248 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
249 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
250 output can be specified.
252 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
253 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
255 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
256 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
260 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
262 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
263 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
264 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
266 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
269 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
270 the program being debugged is run.
272 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
273 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
274 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
277 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
278 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
280 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
281 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
283 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
284 future extensions less cumbersome.
288 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
290 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
291 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
293 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
294 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
295 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
297 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
301 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
302 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
304 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
306 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
307 corner of the window like kfm.
309 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
310 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
311 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
314 ChangeLog starts here.
