54 Worked around the problem that gdb reports "Using host libthread_db"
55 on Fedora Core when it processes the file command.
59 Improved editing of values; it is now possible to edit variables also
64 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
65 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.
67 Basic editing of values in the local variables window is available.
68 More refinements are still necessary.
72 Fixed security flaw regarding the program specific debugger command.
74 Configurable key bindings.
78 Program arguments that are file names can be browsed for.
80 Added XSLT debugging (using xsldbg) by Keith Isdale.
82 The program counter can be changed via point and click.
84 Improved register formating by Daniel Kristjansson.
86 "Orphaned breakpoints", i.e. breakpoints that gdb cannot set

88 dynamically loaded modules.
92 Fixed the "Using host libthread_db" error message.
94 Fixed inappropriate icon sizes.
98 The previous security fix only protects against accidents, not attacks,
99 as Matt Zimmerman pointed out. Did it right this time.

122 Improved toolbar and application icons.
126 Now compiles for KDE 3.

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

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

212 Thomas Sparr <thomas.sparr@kreatel.se>).
216 Fixed endless loop on shutdown.
218 Brought in line with KDE 1.91 (KDE 2 beta).

242 command (required if you are debugging remote devices), the
243 terminal emulation needed for the program.
247 Use docking windows thanks to Judin Max <novaprint@mtu-net.ru>.
249 Added a register dump window. Based on code by Judin Max.
251 Implemented "balloons" (tool tips) that show variable values.
253 ./configure fix for NetBSD thanks to
254 Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>.

279 Support builddir != srcdir.
283 Brought up-to-date for latest KDE 2.
287 Removal of minor misfeatures.
289 Prepared for KDE 2 and Qt 2 (it's a configure option:

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