3 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
5 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
9 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
11 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
13 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
17 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
18 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
20 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
22 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
24 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
26 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
27 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
28 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
32 Working directory can be browsed for.
34 Added context menu to move the selected expression from the local
35 variables window to the watch window.
37 Fixed crash when environment variables are removed.
39 Fixed problems with trailing backslashes in watched expressions.
41 Fixed compilation on FreeBSD (openpty).
45 Translations for: Hungarian, Japanese, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Serbian,
48 Updated the User's Manual (English, Russian (thanks, Ilmar!), German).
52 Improved the program icon; made the installation more KDE2 compliant.
54 Enabled mouse wheel scrolling at various places.
60 Single-stepping by instruction.
62 Watchpoints. Finally! (On Linux/i386 works best with gdb 5!)

68 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
70 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
72 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
73 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
77 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
79 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
83 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
84 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
86 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
88 Made tab width a user-settable option.
92 Display disassembled code.
96 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
98 By default, do not log communication with gdb.
100 Added an integrated output window (based on code by Judin Max).
102 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
103 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
104 terminal emulation needed for the program.
108 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
110 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
112 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
114 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
115 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
117 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
118 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.

124 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
126 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
127 of repeating the characters.
129 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
133 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
134 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
136 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
140 Support builddir != srcdir.
144 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
148 Removal of minor misfeatures.
150 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
151 --with-kde-version=2).
153 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
154 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
156 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
157 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.
161 Recognize strings with repeated characters: 'x' <repeats 34 times>.
163 Fix structs with no (additional) data members and other fixes
166 Save window size across sessions.
168 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
169 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.
173 Fixed non-displaying QString (Qt2) with certain gdb 4.17's (at least
174 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
176 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
178 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
180 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
182 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
183 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
187 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
188 (Execution|Arguments).
190 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
191 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
192 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
193 output can be specified.
195 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
196 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
198 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
199 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
203 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
205 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
206 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
207 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
209 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
212 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
213 the program being debugged is run.
215 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
216 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
217 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
220 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
221 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
223 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
224 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
226 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
227 future extensions less cumbersome.
231 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
233 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
234 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
236 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
237 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
238 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
240 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
244 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
245 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
247 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
249 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
250 corner of the window like kfm.
252 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
253 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
254 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
257 ChangeLog starts here.
