KDevelop 5.0 Beta 2 and 4.7.3 Releases! (February 01, 2016)

Hey all!

I have the pleasure to announce the releases of two new KDevelop versions:

On one hand, there is the new and shiny KDevelop 5.0 Beta 2 release, which brings us much closer to a final release. Tons of issues have been resolved, many features got polished, and even our UI cleaned up a bit here and there. And did I mention impoved OS X and Windows support? See here for more:

https://www.kdevelop.org/news/kdevelop-50-beta2-release

Besides this new beta release, which is where most of our effort went into, I am also happy to announce KDevelop 4.7.3, a new bugfix release of our latest stable KDE 4 based KDevelop. Several annoying problems are resolved now, see the announcement for more information:

Many thanks to everyone involved!

KDevelop 5.0.0 Beta 1 available! (October 28, 2015)

Hello all,


displaying size meta data of classes and members in KDevelop thanks to Clang

I’m very glad to finally announce the first beta of KDevelop 5.0.0, based on Qt 5, KF 5 and Clang: https://www.kdevelop.org/news/first-beta-release-kdevelop-500-available

Like I’ve said previously, I’m very thankful of the tons of contributors that made this step possible. From the early testers, over the many new KDevelop contributors who helped a lot in porting our code base to Qt 5 and KF5, to the people that worked on improving kdev-clang and all the other areas. It’s a great feeling to finally release this beast. A year ago, just after we started in this process, I still wasn’t too sure we can pull it all off. Now, look where we are :) “Just” a few more weeks of polishing and I’m positively sure KDevelop 5.0.0 will be a really good milestone.

That said, I also want to express my thanks towards the KDE e.V. which graciously sponsored our recent KDevelop/Kate sprint in Berlin. We rented a flat for the 8 hackers that visited Berlin and had a productive five days directly after the Qt World Summit. Personally, I worked on kdev-clang and polished it a bit more in the preparation of the first beta release. One handy feature I added is the display of size information about classes and member variables, displayed in the image to the right.

KDevelop 4.4.0 Beta 1 Released (August 15, 2012)

Hey all!

After quite some slacking on my side, I’ve finally managed to drop the good news: KDevelop 4.4.0 Beta 1 is released!

Our 4.4 branch already contains some more interesting changes for the next beta, stay tuned. Oh and yeah, we’ll try to release 4.4.0 final sometime in September, I hope.

Cheers

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

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?

KDevelop 4.2 RC1 released (January 15, 2011)

Good news everyone, part 2 for today:

I’m happy to announce the immediate availability of KDevelop 4.2 RC1. This is a pure bug fix release over the last beta in the 4.2 branch. Anyone using the 4.2 branch is urged to upgrade to this new version as soon as possible. Furthermore any new testers are welcome and feedback appreciated. Report it on the bugtracker on bugs.kde.org. Keep in mind that if you are using KDE 4.6 or higher, you need this release, as 4.1 only works up to KDE 4.5. If all goes according to plan, there will be another RC soon and a final release together with KDE 4.6.

Download

You can grab the source tarballs at the usual location: http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=unstable/kdevelop/4.1.90/src/

Packagers will hopefully update the testing repositories of their distribution.

    * David Nolden: backport from master: Clear the file-modification cache instantly when the user has saved the file in the editor.
    * David Nolden: backport from master: Don't completely ignore the retrieved top-context if it is still flagged to require an update. Instead, simply show a warning message on the status bar. (TODO: Find out why the update flag is not correct)

    * Floris Ruijter: this test contains a c++ error, it isn't too bad(the test passes with it), but it's probably not meant
    * Floris Ruijter: Fix token-names for GeneratorTest

    * Milian Wolff: hide void-returning functions from code completion when we are inside an non-lvalue expression
    * Aleix Pol: Support as variables, variables that end with a number. This small problem made macro_optional_find_package not to work, have to be careful about that.
    * Aleix Pol: Don't propagate the URL change if the URL hasn't changed. Damn it, trailing slashes!! >.<
    * Aleix Pol: We don't need this recursive case anymore. The url change will be propagated by ProjectFolderItem itself.
