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

100 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
102 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set

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

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

177 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
179 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
181 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,

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

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

295 Support builddir != srcdir.
299 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
303 Removal of minor misfeatures.
305 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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