New in KDevelop 5.4 (Aug 7, 2019)

  • Meson:
  • Projects using the new rising star in the build system scene, Meson, can now also be managed with KDevelop, thanks to the work of Daniel Mensinger.
  • Current features are...
  • Native support for Meson projects (configuring, compiling, installing)
  • Support for KDevelop code autocompletion (plugin reads Meson introspection information)
  • Initial support for the Meson rewriter: modifying basic aspects of the project (version, license, etc.)
  • Support for adding / removing files from a build target will follow in future releases of KDevelop.
  • Scratchpad:
  • Thanks to the work of Amish Naidu there is now a tool to keep "scratches" of code or text to experiment or quickly run something without the need to create a full project.
  • The plugin adds a new tool view, which maintains a list of your scratches which you can compile and run. The data from scratches is managed and stored by KDevelop internally but is presented as regular documents in the editor giving all the editing convenience of e.g. code-completion and diagnostics. Commands used to run the scratches are saved for each scratch, while new scratches are pre-set with the last command used for that file type.
  • Clang-Tidy:
  • The plugin for Clang-Tidy had been developed and released independently so far, but starting with version 5.4 is now part of KDevelop's default plugins. Learn more about the plugin on Friedrich Kossebau's blog.
  • C++:
  • More work was done on stabilizing and improving our C++ language support, which uses a Clang based backend. Notable fixes include:

New in KDevelop 5.3 Beta 1 (Oct 2, 2018)

  • Analyzers:
  • With 5.1, KDevelop got a new menu entry Analyzer which features a set of actions to work with analyzer-like plugins. For 5.2 the runtime analyzer Heaptrack and the static analyzer cppcheck have been added. During the last 5.3 development phase, we added another analyzer plugin which now is shipped to you out of the box:
  • Clazy:
  • Clazy is a clang analyzer plugin specialized on Qt-using code, and can now also be run from within KDevelop by default, showing issues inline.
  • Internal changes:
  • With all the Analyzers integration available, KDevelop's own codebase has been subject for their application as well. Lots of code has been optimized and, where indicated by the analyzers, stabilized. At the same time modernization to the new standards of C++ and Qt5 has been continued with the analyzers aid, so it can be seen only in the copyright headers KDevelop was founded in 1998 .
  • Improved C++ support:
  • Clang: include tooltips: fix range check. (commit. code review D14865)
  • Allow overriding the path to the builtin clang compiler headers. (commit. See bug #393779)
  • Always use the clang builtin headers for the libclang version we use. (commit. fixes bug #387005. code review D12331)
  • Group completion requests and only handle the last one. (commit. code review D12298)
  • Fix Template (Class/Function) Signatures in Clang Code Completion. (commit. fixes bug #368544. fixes bug #377397. code review D10277)
  • Workaround: find declarations for constructor argument hints. (commit. code review D9745)
  • Clang: Improve argument hint code completion. (commit. code review D9725)
  • Improved PHP language support:
  • Much improved support for PHP Namespaces
  • Added support for Generators and Generator delegation
  • Updated and expanded the integrated documentation of PHP internals
  • Added support for PHP 7's context sensitive lexer
  • Install the parser as a library so it can be used by other projects (currently, umbrello can use it) (Ralf Habacker)
  • Improved type detection of object properties
  • Added support for the object typehint
  • Better support for ClassNameReferences (instanceof)
  • Expression syntax support improvements, particularly around 'print'
  • Allow optional function parameters before non-optional ones (Matthijs Tijink)
  • Added support for magic constants __DIR__ and __TRAIT__
  • Improved Python language support:
  • The developers have been concentrating on fixing bugs, which already have been added into the 5.2 series.
  • So far there is only one improvement specific to 5.3, but surely with more to come:
  • Inject environment profile variables into debug process environment. (commit. fixes bug #322477. code review D14870)
  • Support for other platforms:
  • KDevelop is written with portability in mind, and relies on Qt for solving the big part there, so next to the original "unixoid" platforms like Linux distributions and the BSD derivatives, other platforms with Qt coverage are in good reach as wel, if people do the final pushing. So far Microsoft Windows has been another supported platform, and there is some experimental, but maintainer-seeking support for macOS. Some porters of Haiku, the BeOS inspired Open Source operating system, have done porting as well, building on the work done for other Qt-based software. For KDevelop 5.3 the small patch still needed has been applied to KDevelop now, so the Haiku ports recipe for KDevelop no longer needs it.

New in KDevelop 5.2.1 (Nov 28, 2017)

  • 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)

  • 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).

New in KDevelop 5.2 (Nov 15, 2017)

  • Analyzers:
  • With 5.1, KDevelop got a new menu entry Analyzer which features a set of actions to work with analyzer-like plugins. During the last 5.2 development phase, we merged more analyzer plugins into kdevelop.git which are now shipped to you out of the box:
  • Heaptrack:
  • Heaptrack is a heap memory profiler for C/C++ Linux applications.
  • cppcheck:
  • cppcheck is a well-known static analyzer for C++, and can now also be run from within KDevelop by default, showing issues inline.
  • Improved C++ support:
  • Properly pass on some categories of compiler flags from the build system to the analyzer, fixing e. g. parse errors in some Qt header files which cannot be parsed if a certain compiler configuration is not respected
  • Improve performance of C++ code completion in some situations
  • Restore some completion features from 4.x, such as automatic insertion of semicolons in some cases
  • More improvements, such as better handling of template class member functions, are already being worked on and will be in one of the next versions of KDevelop.

New in KDevelop 5.0.0 (Aug 24, 2016)

  • 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.

New in KDevelop 5.0.0 Beta (Oct 27, 2015)

  • 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.
