KDevelop

KDevelop is an open source, portable and free software project that provides users with a feature-full, plugin-based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for the C, C++ and other widely used programming languages.

Features at a glance

Key features include an easy-to-use, yet complex graphical user interface written in the Qt GUI toolkit, support for sessions, support for a wide range of programming languages, the ability to set up an application as a second project, as well as the ability to create project from scratch.

In addition, it comes with different tools, views, modes and working sets, support for keyboard shortcuts, support for templates, unit tests and classes. With KDevelop, developers will be able to explore the source code of an existing application and make changes to improve it.

Supports more than 10 programming languages

The application has been designed from the ground up to support 12 programming languages, 5 build tools, 11 documentation formats, 4 revision control systems, 3 code editors, 5 development toolkits, and dozens of other neat tools.

It’s a cross-platform application

Being written in Qt, KDevelop is designed as a cross-platform application that has been successfully tested under the GNULinux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and other UNIX-like operating systems. It is available on the default software repositories of many Linux distributions.

Availability and supported architectures

KDE developers who want to develop powerful application for the KDE desktop environment can download the KDevelop application as a source archive, which must be configure and compiled prior to installation. Both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported at this time.

Meet KDevPlatform

Also part of the KDevelop project, meet KDevPlatform, an open source and freely distributed set of libraries that can be used as a base for IDE-like programs like Quanta, Kile, KTechLab, and even KDevelop itself, which is based on KDevPlatform.

What is new in this release:

• Fix a crash which often happened when switching git branches in the background in C++ projects. This temporarily disables documentation warnings, as well as parsed documentation display in the tooltips, until the underlying issue is fixed upstream. (bug, upstream bug)
• Fix no compiler being set by default on Windows, causing KDevelop to fail finding the C++ standard library. (bug)
• Fix standard library paths not being passed as include paths when using clang as compiler on windows. (review)
• Fix a crash happening on some systems when opening a session. (bug)
• Fix include path completion not showing project-defined system includes (i.e. includes added as system includes but by your project). (bug)
• Fix crash when batch-editing defines in the define editor. (bug)
• Fix an assert (only happened in debug mode) and potential crash when showing problem tooltip. (bug)
• Fix links in documentation browser not working in the AppImage. (bug)
• Fix build failure when building in-source when translations are present. (bug)
• Fix a crash when showing navigation tooltip in PHP projects in some situations. (bug)
• Fix targets being duplicated when using CMake subprojects. (bug)
• Fix console toolview asking to delete a temporary file interactively. (bug)
• Fix a lot of AUTOMOC warnings while compiling with CMake 3.10
• Fix some tool view context menus having empty entries. (bug)
• Fix the progress widget in the statusbar not showing in some sessions. (review)
• Adapt cache clear logic to ensure that the code model cache (~/.cache/kdevduchain) is always cleared when changing to a different KDevelop version (including patch versions). Unsuitable data in the cache has caused a range of issues in the past, including crashes. If you really need to keep the cache, you can create an (empty) file with the version suffix of the target version in the cache folder.
• Fix KDevelop not starting up with the welcome page enabled (which it is by default) on systems without OpenGL support. (bug)
• Fix build with Qt version 5.5.
• Fix file templates not working on Windows (this fix should be in the Windows 5.2.0 installers already, but was not in the source tarballs).

What is new in version 5.0.0:

• Almost two years after the release of KDevelop 4.7, we are happy to announce the immediate availability of KDevelop 5.0. KDevelop is an integrated development environment focusing on support of the C++, Python, PHP and JavaScript/QML programming languages. Many important changes and refactorings were done for version 5.0, ensuring that KDevelop remains maintainable and easy to extend and improve over the next years. Highlights include much improved new C/C++ language support, as well as polishing for Python, PHP and QML/JS.

What is new in version 4.7.3 / 5.0.0 Beta:

• We have ported our huge code base to Qt 5 and KDE frameworks 5 (KF5).
• We replaced our legacy C++ parser and semantic analysis plugin with a much more powerful one that is based on Clang from the LLVM project.
• We removed the hand-written CMake interpreter and now leverage meta data provided by upstream CMake itself.
• We finally integrated semantic language support for QML and JavaScript, as well as a project manager for QMake.
• Finally, we cleaned up many areas of our code base and improved the performance of some work flows significantly.
