33 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
37 Updated the build system to the latest auto* tools.
39 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
40 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
44 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
49 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
50 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
52 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
53 More refinements are still necessary.
57 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
59 Configurable key bindings.
63 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
65 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
67 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
69 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
71 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set
72 immediately, can be set. This helps debug shared libraries and
73 dynamically loaded modules.
77 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
79 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
83 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
84 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.

101 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
103 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.

107 Improved toolbar and application icons.
111 Now compiles for KDE 3.

116 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
120 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
122 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
124 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
126 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
129 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
133 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
135 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
137 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
141 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
142 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).

146 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
148 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
150 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
151 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message

192 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
194 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
196 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
197 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
201 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
203 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
207 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports

210 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
212 Made tab width a user-settable option.
216 Display disassembled code.

226 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
227 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
228 terminal emulation needed for the program.
232 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
234 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
236 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
238 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
239 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
241 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
242 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.

248 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
250 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
251 of repeating the characters.
253 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
257 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
258 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
260 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
264 Support builddir != srcdir.
268 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
272 Removal of minor misfeatures.
274 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

277 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
278 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.

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

298 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
300 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
302 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
304 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
306 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
307 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
311 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
312 (Execution|Arguments).
314 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
315 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
316 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
317 output can be specified.
319 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
320 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
322 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
323 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
327 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
329 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
330 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
331 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
333 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
336 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
337 the program being debugged is run.
339 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
340 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
341 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
344 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
345 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
347 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
348 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
350 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
351 future extensions less cumbersome.
355 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
357 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
358 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
360 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
361 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
362 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
364 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
368 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
369 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
371 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
373 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
374 corner of the window like kfm.
376 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
377 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
378 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
381 ChangeLog starts here.
