Final KDevelop 3.0 Alpha Released

Posted by michael on from the developing-a-development-tool dept.

e8johan writes "The KDevelop team has released the final alpha of KDevelop 3.0 (a.k.a. Gideon) has been released. This third generation of KDevelop looks really promising as it features plug-in editors, many wizards (even for Kicker apps, KControl modules and KIOSlaves). Some of the features that I like best are the support for cross compilation and support for more languages than C/C++. Screenshots are here, more info here, dot.kde article here!"

  1. confusing XP buttons deliberate? by DrSkwid · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know QT is cross platform so do you tink that by using XP style screen grabs they have it running in XP?

    If not I would suggest they are trying to mislead.

    Even with a 10 minute search on http://www.kdevelop.org I couldn't find any "supported platforms" information

    I'm not into having Windows look & feel. It's bad enough I have to use it occasionally. Those candy coloured buttons, uggh!

    Would you prefer they release a "final" that's not ready? A final that's buggy/crashy/etc?

    Have patience. You won't die if it takes them X more months to produce a final.

    As a full time user of kdevelop 2, which is a solid, powerful ide, I'm glad they're working on 3 but I'll happily wait until final to move over my projects.

    (The alphas have crashed on me way too much to get any useful work done. Not that I'm griping, gideon is amazing -- and I've done my duty by submitting many bug reports and backtraces.)
