11 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
16 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
18 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
20 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
22 Improved toolbar and application icons.
26 Now compiles for KDE 3.
28 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.

37 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
39 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
41 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
44 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
48 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
50 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
52 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.

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

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

153 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to

179 Support builddir != srcdir.
183 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
187 Removal of minor misfeatures.
189 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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

205 Save window size across sessions.
207 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
208 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.
212 Fixed non-displaying QString (Qt2) with certain gdb 4.17's (at least
213 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
215 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
217 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
219 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
221 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
222 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
226 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
227 (Execution|Arguments).
229 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
230 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
231 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
232 output can be specified.
234 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
235 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
237 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
238 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
242 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
244 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
245 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
246 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
248 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
251 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
252 the program being debugged is run.
254 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
255 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
256 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
259 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
260 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
262 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
263 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
265 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
266 future extensions less cumbersome.
270 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
272 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
273 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
275 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
276 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
277 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
279 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
283 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
284 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
286 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
288 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
289 corner of the window like kfm.
291 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
292 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
293 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
296 ChangeLog starts here.
