42 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
43 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
47 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
52 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
53 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
55 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
56 More refinements are still necessary.
60 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
62 Configurable key bindings.

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

76 dynamically loaded modules.
80 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
82 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
86 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
87 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.

104 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
106 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.

110 Improved toolbar and application icons.
114 Now compiles for KDE 3.

125 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
127 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
129 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
132 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
136 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
138 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
140 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
144 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't

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

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

230 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
231 terminal emulation needed for the program.
235 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
237 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
239 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
241 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
242 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.
244 There's now a Swedish translation thanks to
245 Örjan Lindbergh <orjan.lindbergh@telia.com>.

251 More adjustments for the KRASH release.
253 Show <repeat...> count in QStrings like in normal C strings instead
254 of repeating the characters.
256 Use QListView instead of KTabListBox.
260 Added a hack to set a remote target. Thanks to
261 Johnny Chan <johnnykc@iprg.nokia.com>.
263 Display function arguments. Based on suggestions by Johnny Chan.
267 Support builddir != srcdir.
271 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
275 Removal of minor misfeatures.
277 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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

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

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