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

99 dynamically loaded modules.
103 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
105 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
109 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,

133 Improved toolbar and application icons.
137 Now compiles for KDE 3.

152 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
155 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
159 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
161 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
163 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
167 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't

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

223 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
227 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
229 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).

253 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
254 terminal emulation needed for the program.
258 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
260 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.

294 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
298 Removal of minor misfeatures.
300 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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