This new version contains the following changes:

cgdb-0.6.3 (06/03/2006)

   * CGDB will no longer crash if you attempt to do a regular expression
     search with / when there is no file in the source viewer.
   
   * CGDB now uses a psuedo terminal (PTY) to start GDB on, instead of
     using a pipe. Jens Frederich reported that on a Mac, typing Ctrl-C
     while the inferior was running would cause GDB to shut down, thus
     causing CGDB to shut down. This patch fixes that problem. At the
     same time, this patch caused GDB to ask the user several other
     questions regarding shared breakpoints, and quiting while the 
     inferior is running. Thus, CGDB acts more as if you were just using 
     GDB.
   
   * CGDB is now maintained in a subversion repository instead of a 
     CVS repository. Although this might not appear to effect end users,
     it is possible that there will be problems associated with this 
     switch. For this reason, I have documented this here.
   
   * Fixed another bug in the configure script. CGDB should now be able 
     to configure itself on a Mac. Thanks to Jens Frederich for finding
     and reporting this problem.
   
   * CGDB no longer packages the generated auto tool files in CVS. However,
     the distributions will have these files. This means you will need 
     autoconf, autoheader and automake installed to compile CGDB from CVS.
   
   * CGDB now compiles according to the c89 standard. This should help with
     porting to older systems.
   
   * The file cgdb.txt is now installed into $PREFIX/share/cgdb/cgdb.txt. This
     is the file CGDB will now use to display the manual when :help is typed.
     This prevents CGDB from copying the data into the users home directory.


Enjoy,
