8 Fixed encoding of the Czech translation thanks to Jakub Galgonek.
10 Added support for QString in Qt4's debug libraries.
12 Fixed that the debugger window really comes to the foreground and
13 receives the focus when the debuggee stops at a breakpoint, when this
14 option is on (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=171845).
18 Fixed parsing of gdb output that mentions "operator<<", "operator>>",
19 "operator<", and "operator>" within text delimited by angle brackets <>.
20 This fixes a crash when any such function is disassembled and other
23 Fixed parsing stack frames that mention "operator<<" or "operator<".
24 Thanks to Charles Samuels, who pointed out the problem and provided
29 Fixed stack display for functions in an anonymous namespace and
30 for functions whose names involve template parameter lists (thanks to
33 Fixed environment list which would add back the entry from the edit box
34 even if it was just deleted.

94 Updated the build system to the latest auto* tools.
96 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
97 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
101 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
106 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
107 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
109 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
110 More refinements are still necessary.
114 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
116 Configurable key bindings.
120 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
122 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
124 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
126 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
128 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set
129 immediately, can be set. This helps debug shared libraries and
130 dynamically loaded modules.
134 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
136 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
140 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
141 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
145 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
149 Fixed parsing of stack frames for recent gdbs.
151 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
154 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
158 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
160 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
162 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
164 Improved toolbar and application icons.
168 Now compiles for KDE 3.
170 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
172 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
173 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
177 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
179 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
181 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
183 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
186 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
190 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
192 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
194 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
198 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
199 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
201 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
203 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
205 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
207 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
208 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
209 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).

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

283 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
284 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
285 terminal emulation needed for the program.
289 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
291 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.

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

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