81 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
82 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
86 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
91 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
92 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
94 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
95 More refinements are still necessary.
99 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
101 Configurable key bindings.

107 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
109 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
111 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
113 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set

115 dynamically loaded modules.
119 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
121 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
125 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,

149 Improved toolbar and application icons.
153 Now compiles for KDE 3.

168 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
171 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
175 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
177 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
179 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
183 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't

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

238 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
239 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
243 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
245 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).

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

306 Support builddir != srcdir.
310 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
314 Removal of minor misfeatures.
316 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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

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