3 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
5 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
9 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
11 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
13 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
17 Now compiles for KDE 3.
19 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
21 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
22 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
26 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
28 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
30 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
32 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
35 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
39 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
41 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
43 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
47 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
48 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
50 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
52 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
54 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
56 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
57 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
58 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
62 Working directory can be browsed for.
64 Added context menu to move the selected expression from the local
65 variables window to the watch window.

82 Improved the program icon; made the installation more KDE2 compliant.
84 Enabled mouse wheel scrolling at various places.
90 Single-stepping by instruction.
92 Watchpoints. Finally! (On Linux/i386 works best with gdb 5!)
96 Made Delete key work in the watch window.
98 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
100 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
102 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
103 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
107 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
109 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
113 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
114 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
116 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
118 Made tab width a user-settable option.
122 Display disassembled code.
126 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
128 By default, do not log communication with gdb.
130 Added an integrated output window (based on code by Judin Max).
132 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
133 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
134 terminal emulation needed for the program.
138 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
140 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
142 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
144 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
145 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
147 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
148 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.
152 Save and restore watched expressions.
154 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
156 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
157 of repeating the characters.
159 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
163 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
164 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
166 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
170 Support builddir != srcdir.
174 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
178 Removal of minor misfeatures.
180 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
181 --with-kde-version=2).
183 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
184 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
186 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
187 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.

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