3 Fixed encoding of the Czech translation thanks to Jakub Galgonek.
5 Added support for QString in Qt4's debug libraries.
7 Fixed that the debugger window really comes to the foreground and

9 option is on (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=171845).
11 Added a filter edit box to the Attach to Process dialog to improve
16 Fixed parsing of gdb output that mentions "operator<<", "operator>>",
17 "operator<", and "operator>" within text delimited by angle brackets <>.
18 This fixes a crash when any such function is disassembled and other
21 Fixed parsing stack frames that mention "operator<<" or "operator<".
22 Thanks to Charles Samuels, who pointed out the problem and provided
27 Fixed stack display for functions in an anonymous namespace and
28 for functions whose names involve template parameter lists (thanks to

32 even if it was just deleted.
34 Fixed that the Run/Continue button was enabled while the program was

92 Updated the build system to the latest auto* tools.
94 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
95 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
99 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
104 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
105 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
107 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
108 More refinements are still necessary.
112 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
114 Configurable key bindings.
118 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
120 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
122 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
124 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
126 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set
127 immediately, can be set. This helps debug shared libraries and
128 dynamically loaded modules.
132 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
134 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
138 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
139 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
143 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
147 Fixed parsing of stack frames for recent gdbs.
149 Support vector registers (thanks to Daniel Thor Kristjansson for
152 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
156 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
158 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
160 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
162 Improved toolbar and application icons.
166 Now compiles for KDE 3.
168 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.

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

214 variables window to the watch window.

247 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
249 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
251 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
252 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
256 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
258 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
262 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports

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

303 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
305 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
306 of repeating the characters.
308 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
312 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
313 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
315 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
319 Support builddir != srcdir.
323 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
327 Removal of minor misfeatures.
329 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

332 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
333 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.

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

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