3 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
5 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
9 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
11 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
13 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
15 Improved toolbar and application icons.
19 Now compiles for KDE 3.
21 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
23 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
24 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!

30 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
32 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
34 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
37 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
41 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
43 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
45 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
49 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
50 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
52 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
54 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
56 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
58 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
59 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message

67 variables window to the watch window.

98 Made Delete key work in the watch window.
100 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
102 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).

105 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
109 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
111 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
115 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
116 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.

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

156 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
158 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
159 of repeating the characters.
161 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
165 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
166 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.

172 Support builddir != srcdir.
176 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
180 Removal of minor misfeatures.
182 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
183 --with-kde-version=2).
185 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
186 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
188 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
189 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.

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