8 Fixed encoding of the Czech translation thanks to Jakub Galgonek.
10 Added support for QString in Qt4's debug libraries.
12 Fixed that the debugger window really comes to the foreground and
13 receives the focus when the debuggee stops at a breakpoint, when this
14 option is on (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=171845).
16 Added a filter edit box to the Attach to Process dialog to improve
21 Fixed parsing of gdb output that mentions "operator<<", "operator>>",
22 "operator<", and "operator>" within text delimited by angle brackets <>.
23 This fixes a crash when any such function is disassembled and other
26 Fixed parsing stack frames that mention "operator<<" or "operator<".
27 Thanks to Charles Samuels, who pointed out the problem and provided
32 Fixed stack display for functions in an anonymous namespace and
33 for functions whose names involve template parameter lists (thanks to
36 Fixed environment list which would add back the entry from the edit box
37 even if it was just deleted.

64 Fixed PS_COMMAND detection for Solaris' /bin/sh.
68 Added a new animated button in the toolbar.
70 Fixed Norwegian translation file names.

97 Updated the build system to the latest auto* tools.
99 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
100 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
104 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
109 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
110 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
112 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
113 More refinements are still necessary.
117 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
119 Configurable key bindings.
123 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
125 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
127 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
129 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
131 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set
132 immediately, can be set. This helps debug shared libraries and
133 dynamically loaded modules.
137 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
139 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
143 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
144 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
148 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
152 Fixed parsing of stack frames for recent gdbs.
154 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
157 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
161 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
163 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
165 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
167 Improved toolbar and application icons.
171 Now compiles for KDE 3.
173 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.

176 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
180 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
182 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
184 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
186 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
189 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
193 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
195 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
197 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
201 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
202 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
204 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
206 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
208 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
210 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
211 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
212 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).

252 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
254 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
256 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
257 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
261 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
263 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).

287 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
288 terminal emulation needed for the program.
292 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
294 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.

324 Support builddir != srcdir.
328 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
332 Removal of minor misfeatures.
334 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

360 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
362 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
364 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
366 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
367 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
371 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
372 (Execution|Arguments).
374 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
375 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
376 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
377 output can be specified.
379 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
380 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
382 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
383 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
387 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
389 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
390 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
391 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
393 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
396 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
397 the program being debugged is run.
399 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
400 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
401 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
404 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
405 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
407 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
408 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
410 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
411 future extensions less cumbersome.
415 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
417 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
418 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
420 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
421 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
422 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
424 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
428 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
429 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
431 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
433 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
434 corner of the window like kfm.
436 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
437 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
438 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
441 ChangeLog starts here.
