0.1.7 2004/10/10
- added commands: display, ldisplay, undisplay to dump
specified memory locations after each single step
(thanks to ziberpunk <ziberpunk =at= ziberghetto dhis org>
for the suggestion and code)
- all Makefiles are now based on automake in the hopes
that this will fix some of the problems integrating
ald into the *BSD ports systems
- bug fix where a pointer wasn't set to NULL after
clearing program arguments with the "set args" command
- this is related to the previous feature: if the effective
address lies inside a symbol/function, the corresponding
symbol is now displayed
- for CALL and JMP instructions, exact target/effective
addresses are now computed
(code for this was contributed by Samuel Falvo II
<kc5tja =at= arrl net>)
- upgraded all configure scripts to autoconf v2.59
0.1.6 2004/07/23
- 2 bug fixes in "examine" command relating to dumping large
numbers of bytes
(found by mbe21 <mbe21 =at= o2 pl>)
- bug fix where ~/.aldrc was not saved on ^D
- minor memory leak fix which would occur in the loading
of ~/.aldrc on startup
(found by Alfredo Beaumont <ziberpunk =at= ziberghetto dhis org>)
- more graceful handling of when the debugged program
receives an unknown signal
- "examine" command can now take section and symbol
names in addition to numerical addresses
- fix for libreadline detection in autoconf
- ripped out all ncurses related code
- minor memory leak fix: During print bursts, users may
hit 'q' or ^C to stop the burst. This is implemented
via a longjmp() call, but if memory was allocated
beforehand, it would not have been freed since longjmp()
alters the path of execution. A simple list structure
was implemented to fix this.
- fixed some issues related to upgrade to autoconf 2.58
- bumped LICENSE up to GPL v2
- "register" command now defaults to compact output format
- fixed some minor disassembly bugs
- got ald to compile on NetBSD 1.6.2
(many thanks to Brad Spencer for providing me with
a NetBSD shell account)
0.1.5p1 2003/10/14
- bandaid to top level Makefile.in to make ald compile
in OpenBSD's ports system
0.1.5 2003/10/11
- "file secinfo" command can now output information on
a.out sections
- added TODO and BUGS files
- fixed problems relating to changing values of fpu
special purpose registers
- added some missing SSE instructions to libDASM
- OpenBSD support is back: fixed compile problems relating to
fpu code, tested on 3.3 release
- bug fixes in disassembling various MMX instructions
(thanks to Peter Boettcher for patch)
- changed library libDisasm to libDASM (Debugger's Assembler
Library) in anticipation of its new capability to assemble
instructions
- added OSABI information to elf header parsing in libOFF
(someone sent me a patch for this ages ago - sorry for
taking so long!)
- added -DNDEBUG to turn off assert() in out-of-the-box
compiles
- bug fix in a.out parser: now checks for QMAGIC binaries
- "file symbols" command has changed to "file syminfo" and you
can now use "file syminfo [symbol name]" to get information for
a specific symbol
- added libOFF to handle all the object file format stuff
0.1.4 2003/07/09
- libOp has been replaced with the rewritten library libDisasm
which has a better overall design
- incorporated hp's patch:
. "disassemble" command now shows symbol information.
Also added "set disasm-show-syms" to toggle this feature on/off.
. added ascii output for all size memory dumps
. bug fix in elf header parsing
- added ~/.aldrc configuration file to save settings
- fixed MSB problem when setting register values
0.1.3 2002/06/29
- added "set step-display-mmxregs" option to display mmx registers after single
stepping
- "lbreak" command now shows the name of the symbol containing each breakpoint, if
any
0.1.2 2002/06/14
- added "set step-display-fpregs" option to display fpu registers after single
stepping

- bug fix in handling of runtime arguments
- new man page
