28 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
30 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.

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

157 Support builddir != srcdir.
161 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
165 Removal of minor misfeatures.
167 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
168 --with-kde-version=2).
170 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
171 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
173 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
174 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.

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

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