And KDevelop?
by Alessandro on Saturday 27/Jan/2007, @06:14

Why there are no references to KDevelop?
This news, the KDE announcement and the KDE changelog, all does not mention KDevelop. Why?
It should have been upgraded from 3.3.x releases to 3.4.x, with _a lot_ of new features and bug fixes.

The main ones are:
- much better code-completion
- better debugger support
- improved support for Qt4
- much enhanced support for qmake projects
- improved C++, Ruby and PHP support
- changed default User Interface
For a better list, see http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=3.4/features.html

It's a very big change!
Why it was forgot?
Probably there is a reason fot this, does someone knows it?

By the way, also KDevelop main page (www.kdevelop.org) does not mention the new release, only the changelog page has been updated (www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=3.4/changes.html).

I guess the reason is simple: KDevelop is not part of KDE 3.5.6. It's separate.

But here's the release announcement: http://dot.kde.org/1169902218/

Why then there is a empty reference to it in the KDE changelog?
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_5_5to3_5_6.php#kdevelop
Also the link "all SVN changes" shows almost nothing.

Ah, I see what you mean. The changelogs for 3.5.5 and 3.5.4 didn't have that section at all though. Dunno what that means.

Anyway, you have the link to the announcement now. IMHO it highlights the changes in kdevelop better than a subsection in the KDE 3.5.6 announcement would have.

Yes, it's better a dedicated announcement!
When I wrote my first message, I hadn't seen it yet.

Remains the strange section in the KDE changelog and the little list of changes in the SVN changes.

So KDevelop and KDE come out in the same day, but are separated. They could release KDevelop also in different dates!

Anyway, thank you for the answers!

Moreover all past releases of KDevelop, come out with KDE.
