CGDB 0.6.1 Released
-------------------

Downloading:

    Go to http://cgdb.sourceforge.net/download.shtml for download
    link and instructions.

This new version contains the following changes:

   * An improvement for tab completion support. With certain versions of GDB,
     an extra line "server complete ..." would be added to the list of
     possible completions. This is no longer added. I believe this would
     only happen with really old versions of GDB.

   * Improved tab completion support in readline for quoted data. For
     instance tab completing C++ member functions like b 'foo::b<tab>
     will now produce b 'foo::bar()'.

   * Improved tab completion support. This comes in 2 forms. First, CGDB
     honors the readline variable rl_completion_query_items. If the number
     of completions is greater than this variable, then the user will be
     asked if they want the completion to happen. Second, after each page of
     completions, the user will be asked if they want more completions to be
     displayed or not.

   * Thanks to Steve Folta for sending in a patch which added support in CGDB
     for configuring the syntax colors. The colors used to be hard coded and
     could not be changed. Now just use the ":highlight" command to change
     the default colors.  There is a new section in the manual called
     "CGDB highlighting groups" that describes the new functionality.

   * Again, thanks to Steve Folta for getting CGDB to run on terminals with
     background colors besides black. CGDB used to paint the terminal
     background color black regardless of what it was. Now it respects the
     background color. This feature only works when linked to ncurses. If you
     have curses, CGDB will force the background black.

   * CGDB broke it's terminal resizing functionality in cgdb-0.6.0. This is
     now working again. The bug was introduced while bringing readline into
     the same address space as CGDB.

   * The man page now get's installed when 'make install' is done.

Enjoy,
