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

102 dynamically loaded modules.
106 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
108 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
112 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,

126 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
130 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
132 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
134 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
136 Improved toolbar and application icons.
140 Now compiles for KDE 3.

145 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
149 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
151 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
153 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
155 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
158 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
162 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
164 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
166 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
170 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't

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

188 variables window to the watch window.

221 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
223 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
225 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
226 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
230 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
232 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).

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

287 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
289 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
293 Support builddir != srcdir.
297 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
301 Removal of minor misfeatures.
303 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

306 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
307 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.

321 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
322 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.

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