77 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
78 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
82 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
87 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
88 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
90 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
91 More refinements are still necessary.
95 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.

103 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
105 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
107 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
109 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set

111 dynamically loaded modules.
115 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
117 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
121 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,

145 Improved toolbar and application icons.
149 Now compiles for KDE 3.

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

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

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

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

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

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