3 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
4 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
6 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
8 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
10 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
12 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
13 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
14 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
18 Working directory can be browsed for.
20 Added context menu to move the selected expression from the local
21 variables window to the watch window.
23 Fixed crash when environment variables are removed.
25 Fixed problems with trailing backslashes in watched expressions.
27 Fixed compilation on FreeBSD (openpty).
31 Translations for: Hungarian, Japanese, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Serbian,
34 Updated the User's Manual (English, Russian (thanks, Ilmar!), German).
38 Improved the program icon; made the installation more KDE2 compliant.
40 Enabled mouse wheel scrolling at various places.
46 Single-stepping by instruction.
48 Watchpoints. Finally! (On Linux/i386 works best with gdb 5!)
52 Made Delete key work in the watch window.
54 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
56 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
58 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
59 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
63 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
65 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
69 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
70 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
72 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
74 Made tab width a user-settable option.
78 Display disassembled code.
82 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
84 By default, do not log communication with gdb.
86 Added an integrated output window (based on code by Judin Max).
88 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
89 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
90 terminal emulation needed for the program.
94 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
96 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
98 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
100 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
101 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
103 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
104 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.
108 Save and restore watched expressions.
110 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
112 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
113 of repeating the characters.
115 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
119 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
120 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
122 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
126 Support builddir != srcdir.
130 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
134 Removal of minor misfeatures.
136 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
137 --with-kde-version=2).
139 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
140 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
142 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
143 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.
147 Recognize strings with repeated characters: 'x' <repeats 34 times>.
149 Fix structs with no (additional) data members and other fixes
152 Save window size across sessions.
154 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
155 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.
159 Fixed non-displaying QString (Qt2) with certain gdb 4.17's (at least
160 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
162 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
164 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
166 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
168 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
169 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
173 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
174 (Execution|Arguments).
176 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
177 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
178 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
179 output can be specified.
181 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
182 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
184 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
185 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
189 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
191 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
192 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
193 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
195 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
198 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
199 the program being debugged is run.
201 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
202 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
203 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
206 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
207 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
209 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
210 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
212 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
213 future extensions less cumbersome.
217 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
219 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
220 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
222 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
223 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
224 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
226 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
230 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
231 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
233 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
235 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
236 corner of the window like kfm.
238 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
239 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
240 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
243 ChangeLog starts here.
