Hello all!

Today it seems as if our mailing list server has died. Thankfully, we where in the process of moving them over to the KDE infrastructure in conformance to the KDE manifesto.

You can find the new addresses on the mailing list site.

Note: No users where migrated, thus you have to register again! To do that, sent an email to kdevelop-request@kde.org and/or kdevelop-devel-request@kde.org with the subject `subscribe`.

After about two years of development and 894 commits, I'm happy to announce the first stable release of kdev-python! kdev-python is the Python language support plugin for KDevelop, which provides syntax checking, code completion, quickopen support, and much more for the Python scripting language. For details, please refer to the announcement on my blog.

Download the plugin sources from:
download.kde.org/stable/kdevelop/kdev-python/1.4.1/src/kdev-python-v1.4.1.tar.bz2.mirrorlist

or wait for your distribution to package it. kdev-python 1.4 can be used with kdevplatform 1.4.x.

A big thanks to all the other KDevelop people who helped a lot with making this possible!

After just two weeks the KDevelop team is happy to announce the availability of KDevelop 4.4.1! This release increases the stability and contains a few other bug fixes. Everyone is urged to upgrade as soon as possible.

The KDevelop team is happy to announce the immediate availability of KDevelop 4.4. As usual, this feature release comes packed with new features, bug fixes and improved performance. New in this release is a shiny welcome screen for improved usability and an easier entry into the KDevelop world.

After quite some downtime in the last summer weeks, the KDevelop team finally has a new release in the pipelines: KDevelop 4.4.0. Today we are happy to announce the availability of the first Beta release!

This release comes packed with bug fixes and improvements as usually. A special addition to the KDevelop experience is the new welcome page, which should make it easier for newcomers to use KDevelop and improve the workflow for existing users as well. Looking at existing plugins, we note that among others, the CMake, CVS and Patch Review plugins have seen quite some improvements.

Please test this release and give us feedback to ensure a smooth 4.4 release.

Just one month after the KDevelop 4.3.0 release, we are happy to announce the immediate availability of KDevelop 4.3.1 - a stable bugfix release.

After about nine months of extensive development, the KDevelop team is happy to announce the immediate availability of KDevelop 4.3. As usual, this feature release comes packed with new features, bug fixes and improved performance.

Hello everyone!

We finally have a new KDevelop forum! Thanks to the kind people from forum.kde.org for setting it up for us.

I thought it would be a good idea to get the forum started with a call for screenshots, which will then be shown here on the website. Either post the screenshot in the forum or post a link in the comments here. Please use a creative-commons license and write a short note on your screenshot!

See the forum thread for more details: forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=99510

The KDevelop team is proud to announce the immediate availability of KDevelop 4.3.0 RC 1. This is probably the last testing version before the release of 4.3 final. This release candidate includes additional bug fixes and further improves the C++11 language support. Please try it out and give us feedback to ensure a smooth 4.3 release.
