13 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
16 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
20 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
22 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
24 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
26 Improved toolbar and application icons.
30 Now compiles for KDE 3.
32 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.

41 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
43 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
45 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
48 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
52 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
54 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
56 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
60 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't

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

145 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
146 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
147 terminal emulation needed for the program.
151 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
153 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
155 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
157 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
158 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.

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

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

209 Save window size across sessions.
211 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
212 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.

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