15 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
18 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
22 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
24 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
26 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.

35 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
37 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.

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

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

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