19 for functions whose names involve template parameter lists (thanks to

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

119 dynamically loaded modules.
123 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
125 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
129 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,

153 Improved toolbar and application icons.
157 Now compiles for KDE 3.

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

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

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

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

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