26 Updated the build system to the latest auto* tools.
28 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
29 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
33 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
38 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
39 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
41 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
42 More refinements are still necessary.
46 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
48 Configurable key bindings.
52 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
54 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
56 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
58 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
60 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set
61 immediately, can be set. This helps debug shared libraries and
62 dynamically loaded modules.
66 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
68 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
72 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
73 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
77 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
81 Fixed parsing of stack frames for recent gdbs.
83 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
86 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
90 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.

94 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
96 Improved toolbar and application icons.
100 Now compiles for KDE 3.

105 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
109 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
111 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
113 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
115 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
118 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
122 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
124 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
126 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
130 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
131 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).

135 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
137 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
139 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
140 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
141 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).

148 variables window to the watch window.

181 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
183 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
185 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
186 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
190 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
192 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
196 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
197 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
199 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
201 Made tab width a user-settable option.
205 Display disassembled code.
209 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
211 By default, do not log communication with gdb.

215 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
216 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
217 terminal emulation needed for the program.
221 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
223 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
225 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
227 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
228 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
230 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
231 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.

242 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
246 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
247 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
249 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
253 Support builddir != srcdir.
257 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
261 Removal of minor misfeatures.
263 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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

281 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
282 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.

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