18 Work around bug in some gdbs which inhibits printing of QString values.
22 Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
24 Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
26 When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
28 Improved toolbar and application icons.
32 Now compiles for KDE 3.
34 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.

45 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
47 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
50 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.

56 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
58 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.

67 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
69 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
71 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,

147 Program specific settings can be set. In particular: the debugger
148 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
149 terminal emulation needed for the program.
153 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
155 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
157 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
159 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
160 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.

185 Support builddir != srcdir.
189 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
193 Removal of minor misfeatures.
195 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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

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