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.
15 Now compiles for KDE 3.
17 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
19 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
20 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
24 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
26 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
28 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
30 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
33 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
37 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
39 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
41 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
45 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
46 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
48 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
50 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
52 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
54 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
55 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
56 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
60 Working directory can be browsed for.
62 Added context menu to move the selected expression from the local
63 variables window to the watch window.

94 Made Delete key work in the watch window.
96 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
98 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
100 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
101 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
105 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
107 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
111 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
112 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
114 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
116 Made tab width a user-settable option.
120 Display disassembled code.
124 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
126 By default, do not log communication with gdb.
128 Added an integrated output window (based on code by Judin Max).
130 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
131 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
132 terminal emulation needed for the program.
136 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
138 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
140 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
142 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
143 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
145 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
146 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.
150 Save and restore watched expressions.
152 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
154 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
155 of repeating the characters.
157 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
161 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
162 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
164 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
168 Support builddir != srcdir.
172 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
176 Removal of minor misfeatures.
178 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
179 --with-kde-version=2).
181 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
182 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
184 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
185 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.

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