56 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
57 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
61 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
66 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
67 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
69 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
70 More refinements are still necessary.
74 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
76 Configurable key bindings.
80 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
82 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
84 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
86 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
88 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set

90 dynamically loaded modules.
94 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
96 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
100 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
101 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.

124 Improved toolbar and application icons.
128 Now compiles for KDE 3.

139 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
141 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
143 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
146 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
150 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
152 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
154 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
158 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't

163 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
165 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
167 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
168 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message

213 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
214 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
218 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
220 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).

243 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
244 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
245 terminal emulation needed for the program.
249 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
251 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
253 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
255 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
256 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.

281 Support builddir != srcdir.
285 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
289 Removal of minor misfeatures.
291 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

315 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
317 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
319 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
321 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
323 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
324 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
328 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
329 (Execution|Arguments).
331 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
332 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
333 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
334 output can be specified.
336 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
337 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
339 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
340 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
344 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
346 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
347 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
348 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
350 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
353 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
354 the program being debugged is run.
356 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
357 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
358 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
361 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
362 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
364 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
365 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
367 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
368 future extensions less cumbersome.
372 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
374 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
375 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
377 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
378 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
379 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
381 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
385 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
386 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
388 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
390 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
391 corner of the window like kfm.
393 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
394 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
395 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
398 ChangeLog starts here.
