5 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
9 Now compiles for KDE 3.
11 Fixed make install for builddir != srcdir.
13 Fixed status bar flicker. This gives a nice speed-up by a factor of 4
14 when the contents of an array of 50 QStrings are displayed!
18 Now compiles for KDE 3 (Beta1).
20 Support QString of Qt 3.x.
22 Improved (and fixed) the display of arrays with repeated values.
24 Fixed crash when a file is reloaded while disassembled code is
27 Fixed parsing of stack frames involving signal handler invocations.
31 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.x (really, this time, I promise).
33 Fixed crash when no line has the cursor (empty files).
35 Don't display a blank page when a non-existing file was tried to open.
39 Fixed a special, but common case where removing a breakpoint didn't
40 work but add more on the same line instead (thanks to Ron Lerech).
42 Fixed invisible toolbar under KDE 2.1.2 (thanks to Neil Butterworth).
44 Fixed compilation for gcc 3.0 (thanks to Ben Burton):
46 Fixed make install if srcdir != builddir.
48 Changed encoding of German translations (and also Danish, Italian,
49 Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish) to UTF-8, which fixes message
50 strings under KDE2 (at least for German - couldn't test the others).
54 Working directory can be browsed for.

57 variables window to the watch window.

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

95 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
99 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
101 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).
105 Debugging of multi-threaded programs. Requires a gdb that supports
106 multi-threaded programs, like gdb 5.
108 Debugger window pops into the foreground when the program stops.
110 Made tab width a user-settable option.
114 Display disassembled code.
118 Use the KDE system fixed font for the source code window.
120 By default, do not log communication with gdb.

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

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

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

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