7 Matthew Allen for the initial code).
9 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message properly.
11 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
15 Updated the build system to the latest auto* tools.
17 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
18 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
22 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
27 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
28 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
30 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
31 More refinements are still necessary.
35 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
37 Configurable key bindings.
41 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
43 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
45 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
47 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
49 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set
50 immediately, can be set. This helps debug shared libraries and
51 dynamically loaded modules.
55 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
57 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
61 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
62 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
66 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
70 Fixed parsing of stack frames for recent gdbs.
72 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
75 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
79 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
81 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
83 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
85 Improved toolbar and application icons.
89 Now compiles for KDE 3.
91 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
93 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
94 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
98 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
100 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
102 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
104 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
107 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
111 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
113 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
115 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
119 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
120 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
122 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
124 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
126 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
128 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
129 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
130 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
134 Working directory can be browsed for.
136 Added context menu to move the selected expression from the local
137 variables window to the watch window.
139 Fixed crash when environment variables are removed.

162 Single-stepping by instruction.
164 Watchpoints. Finally! (On Linux/i386 works best with gdb 5!)
168 Made Delete key work in the watch window.
170 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
172 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
174 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
175 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
179 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
181 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
185 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
186 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
188 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
190 Made tab width a user-settable option.
194 Display disassembled code.
198 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
200 By default, do not log communication with gdb.
202 Added an integrated output window (based on code by Judin Max).
204 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
205 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
206 terminal emulation needed for the program.
210 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
212 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
214 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
216 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
217 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
219 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
220 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.
224 Save and restore watched expressions.
226 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
228 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
229 of repeating the characters.
231 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
235 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
236 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
238 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
242 Support builddir != srcdir.
246 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
250 Removal of minor misfeatures.
252 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
253 --with-kde-version=2).
255 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
256 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
258 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
259 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.

268 Save window size across sessions.
270 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
271 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.
275 Fixed non-displaying QString (Qt2) with certain gdb 4.17's (at least
276 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
278 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
280 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
282 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
284 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
285 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
289 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
290 (Execution|Arguments).
292 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
293 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
294 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
295 output can be specified.
297 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
298 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
300 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
301 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
305 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
307 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
308 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
309 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
311 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
314 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
315 the program being debugged is run.
317 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
318 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
319 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
322 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
323 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
325 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
326 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
328 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
329 future extensions less cumbersome.
333 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
335 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
336 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
338 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
339 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
340 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
342 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
346 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
347 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
349 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
351 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
352 corner of the window like kfm.
354 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
355 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
356 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
359 ChangeLog starts here.
