11 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
14 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
18 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
20 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
22 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
24 Improved toolbar and application icons.
28 Now compiles for KDE 3.
30 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
32 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
33 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
37 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
39 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
41 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
43 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
46 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
50 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
52 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
54 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
58 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't

61 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
63 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
65 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
67 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
68 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message

109 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
111 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).

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

165 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
167 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
168 of repeating the characters.
170 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.

181 Support builddir != srcdir.
185 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
189 Removal of minor misfeatures.
191 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

194 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
195 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
197 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
198 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.

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