3 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
5 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
7 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
9 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
12 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
16 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
18 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
20 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
24 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
25 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
27 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
29 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
31 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
33 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
34 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
35 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
39 Working directory can be browsed for.
41 Added context menu to move the selected expression from the local
42 variables window to the watch window.

52 Translations for: Hungarian, Japanese, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Serbian,
55 Updated the User's Manual (English, Russian (thanks, Ilmar!), German).
59 Improved the program icon; made the installation more KDE2 compliant.
61 Enabled mouse wheel scrolling at various places.
67 Single-stepping by instruction.
69 Watchpoints. Finally! (On Linux/i386 works best with gdb 5!)
73 Made Delete key work in the watch window.
75 Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled in the breakpoint list.
77 Detach from debugged program on exit (and when new program is debugged).
79 Added a list of recently opened executables (thanks to
80 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
84 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
86 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
90 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
91 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
93 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
95 Made tab width a user-settable option.
99 Display disassembled code.
103 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
105 By default, do not log communication with gdb.
107 Added an integrated output window (based on code by Judin Max).
109 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
110 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
111 terminal emulation needed for the program.
115 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
117 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
119 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
121 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
122 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
124 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
125 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.

131 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
133 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
134 of repeating the characters.
136 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
140 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
141 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
143 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
147 Support builddir != srcdir.
151 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
155 Removal of minor misfeatures.
157 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:
158 --with-kde-version=2).
160 Added Russian documentation (thanks to
161 Ilmar S. Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>) and German documentation.
163 There is now a Spanish translation thanks to
164 Manuel Soriano <manu@europa3.com>.
168 Recognize strings with repeated characters: 'x' <repeats 34 times>.
170 Fix structs with no (additional) data members and other fixes
173 Save window size across sessions.
175 There is now an Italian translation thanks to
176 Massimo Morin <mmorin@schedsys.com>.
180 Fixed non-displaying QString (Qt2) with certain gdb 4.17's (at least
181 mine here, of SuSE 6.1, had a problem :-)
183 Fixed cases where gdb commands where executed after debuggee has exited.
185 Do not execute gdb commands after an interrupt.
187 Updated some translations. Still most are incomplete. Please help!
189 There is now a Polish translation thanks to
190 Jacek Wojdel <wojdel@kbs.twi.tudelft.nl>.
194 The working directory for the program being debugged can be set
195 (Execution|Arguments).
197 There's now a global options dialog in place (File|Global Options).
198 At the moment the debugger program (which must be gdb, but it could be
199 an experimental gdb version, for example) and the terminal for program
200 output can be specified.
202 Fixed Makefiles to support make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install (which is
203 needed by packagers and to create relocatable RPMs).
205 There's now a Danish translation thanks to
206 Steen Rabol <rabol@get2net.dk>.
210 Starting with this version, Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1 is required.
212 Ported to Qt 2.0 and KDE post-1.1! KDbg now runs with both
213 KDE 1.1 (using Qt 1.42) and the latest experimental KDE. You can of
214 course run one version and debug programs written for the other version.
216 KDbg can now display Qt 2.0's QString values (which are Unicode
219 Environment variables can be set. Changes become effective the next time
220 the program being debugged is run.
222 The breakpoint list has been improved. It disables command buttons at
223 times when it is not possible to change breakpoints. The icons that
224 show the breakpoint status are now the same as those in the source
227 Popup menus (context menus) for frequently used commands have been added
228 to the source code window (thanks to Tom Nguyen <ttomnguyen@yahoo.com>)
230 There's now a Russian translation thanks to
231 Ilmar Habibulin <ilmar@ints.ru>.
233 Internal restructuring. These changes are invisible. They just make
234 future extensions less cumbersome.
238 This is the last version that supports Qt 1.33 and KDE 1.0.
240 There's now a Czech translation thanks to
241 Martin Spirk <spirk@kla.pvt.cz>.
243 Recognize and report when gdb dies unexpectedly. This happens commonly
244 when writing CORBA programs since gdb obviously has problems in
245 debugging C++ classes with virtual base classes.
247 Added conditional breakpoints and ignore counts.
251 Added a toolbar button to load the executable. The button to open a
252 source file is still there. I hope it's clear which one does what.
254 Attaching to a running process is now possible (Execution|Attach).
256 Made more visible when gdb is busy using a gear wheel in the upper right
257 corner of the window like kfm.
259 Made the KTreeView widget more flexible by adding a bunch of virtual
260 keywords. (No, this doesn't have any influence on the look and feel of
261 KDbg.) While doing that, I fixed a small repainting bug.
264 ChangeLog starts here.
