cgdb is a lightweight, but fully functional curses frontend to gdb. The goal of cgdb is to be lightweight and responsive, not encumbered with unnecessary features. The interface retains the familiar GDB text-based interface with 100% of the original functionality. The interfaces also provide additional features, such as a source code window, shortcut keys, visual setting of breakpoints, regex searching capabilities, and more.

Changes: This release should run on Solaris 2.5 again. A bug in the configure script has been fixed. It was possible for readline to choose the wrong termcap library because of a bad autoconf macro that CGDB was using. This could potentially cause the screen to get corrupted. A bug in the syntax highlighter for C strings has been fixed. A line like char *s = "\""; would cause the highlighter to break. The message 'CGDB had unexpected results, ...' will no longer be displayed when a breakpoint cannot be parsed.


Changes: Tab completion support for C++ was improved and interactive tab completion on large inputs. A :highlight command allows colors to be configured.


Changes: Tab completion is now supported and a manual was provided. Many bugfixes were made.
