KDevelop Forum & Screenshots (February 27, 2012)

Hey all,

following the recent blog post on getting a forum for KDE software I decided to get one setup for KDevelop. Minutes after, it was all done, we now have a KDevelop Forum. Feel free to use it for discussions and user support around KDevelop and related applications. Development discussions etc. will still happen on our mailing list though.

To get the forum rolling, I’ve had the idea to use it for some crowdsourcing of KDevelop screenshots, see also the post on the KDevelop website: http://kdevelop.org/community/new-forum-screenshots .

KDevelop 4.3.0 RC 1 Released (February 25, 2012)

Hey all!

Please help us test KDevelop 4.3 RC1! Grab it while it’s hot: http://kdevelop.org/43/kdevelop-430-rc-1-released

This release comes with some more bug fixes and better support for some C++11 language features.

Cheers!

KDevelop 4.3.0 Beta 2 Released (February 15, 2012)

Hey all!

I’ve just posted the news on the KDevelop website: KDevelop 4.3.0 Beta 2 is released!

Please test it and report feedback as usual. I think it’s safe to assume that we will release 4.3.0 final in about 2-4 weeks from now.

Considering that my university semester is nearing its end, I will finally have more royal hacking time again! I’ll continue to squash bugs and improve the performance of KDevelop of course :) Most definitely I’ll try to further improve the C++11 support. But maybe I finally have some time again to work on “something bigger”, like helping Miha Čančula in writing a kick-ass unit-test integration for KDevelop (see unittest branches). Then I plan to finally release some more of our “playground” plugins, most notably CSS language support and QMake project management…

Stay tuned for a bright KDevelop future :]

PS: I’ll step up as a mentor for a KDevelop GSOC this year, yet I’m still wondering about a proper topic… Ideas?

Massif Visualizer 0.3 released (November 29, 2011)

Hey all!

I’m happy to announce the release of Massif-Visualizer 0.3. You can download the sources here:

http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=stable/massif-visualizer/0.3/src

Highlights of this release:

translations into 18 different languages
basic support for hiding of functions via context menu
basic support for custom allocators
configurable precision of memory consumption display
various optimizations, bug fixes and other improvements. take a look at the changelog for more information

Future Development

It took me much too long to get this release out and hope to do better in the future. Current git master already contains some new patches - try it out! I especially like the improved display of the callgraph which now aggregates the tails of the callgraph tree, i.e. the end of the backtrace which mostly starts main() etc.

VTune and KDE (September 11, 2011)

Hey all,

been some time since I blogged last time. My TODO list is ever increasing and I took my day job at KDAB up again. Among others, I attended a marketing talk by Edmund Preiss. He actually made that marketing talk interesting, not least by his huge knowledge in the business, thanks to ~20 years of working for Intel. Probably the most important info I got out of it is this:

VTune is available free-of-charge under a non-commercial license

Yes, you heard right. Take these links:

Intel’s non-commercial offering

note this entry from the FAQ:

What does noncommercial mean?
Non-commercial means that you are not getting compensated in any form for the products and/or services you develop using these Intel® Software Products.

GSOC: C++2011 Support in KDevelop Part 1 (June 28, 2011)

Hey all,

I finally want to write a bit about my work on KDevelop during this year’s GSOC. To make things a bit more interesting for the whole crowd, even for those heretics that don’t use KDevelop, I want to highlight some C++2011 features I got to know in the process. Hence this multipart blog post should be interesting for all KDE hackers, as eventually we will be able to use these shiny new features of what is to be known as C++2011.

For those interested in the full overview of changes in C++2011, take a look at e.g. the C++0x Status Page in GCC 4.6, the wikipedia article on C++0x, or try to get hold of a copy of the C++2011 FDIS spec file. Note that the latter is apparently not freely accessible, see also this stackoverflow discussion. Still, maybe you find someone who can send you a copy…

So, lets get down to business. Following is a not-complete list of C++2011 features I’ve already implemented in KDevelop. If I mess something up in explaining a new feature, or if I forget an important aspect, please add a comment.

KDevelop 4.2.3 Released (June 27, 2011)

Hey all!

I wanted to quickly notify you all about the availability of KDevelop 4.2.3, you can download it here:

http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=stable/kdevelop/4.2.3/src/

Most people should be fine with waiting for updated packages from their distributor though.

To read the full release notes and take a look at the changelog, please visit the project website:

Many thanks to the contributors, for making this release possible

KDevelop: Randa and GSOC 2011 (June 09, 2011)

Yawn. Hello everyone!

After two nights of backporting sleep in my RL branch to fix the deficiency I built up during Randa, I feel somewhat normal again. Time to blog, eh?

Randa

Lets begin with Randa. It was not only my first time there, but also my first time ever to be in the Swiss Alps. And furthermore it was the first time for me to be in the Alps without crying out loud about the lack of snow as I didn’t intend to go snowboarding. You can imagine it was a very pleasant experience for me. I definitely want to come back to go on some more serious hiking trips uphill. But I diverge ;-)

Randa as place for a sprint was simply awesome: Secluded hence no real distractions. Great environment to clean your head, get fresh air and stay focused and productive. Good food, nice people, … I could go on here :) The only negative things I noticed where the unstable networking and the dormitories.

KDevelop Sprint

The KDevelop sprint at Randa was very successful and productive. Here is a group picture of those who attended:

The End Is Nigh (May 25, 2011)

No I’m not a nutjob who talks about the rapture (epic fail btw.). Instead, I’m talking about my time as a bachelor student. I’ve just handed in my thesis after weeks of work on it. You might have noticed by my recent absence from KDE hacking. But rest assured. Now I’m back again :)

First of all the GSOC hack time started officially this week. I got a slot again, and am a few days behind schedule yet am confident to fetch up. I’ll be working on bringing C++0x or now C++2011 support to KDevelop. You can read my proposal online.

Secondly next week I’ll be at Randa for the KDevelop sprint (among others). I’m really looking forward to it, so many nice people to meet again — awesome!

So expect more from my side again. I’ll also start to go through the bug reports of the last weeks which I have not yet attended to. Stay tuned and welcome back :)
