This new release has seen lots of work from various contributors. In the following we highlight a few noteworthy items but this list is by far not complete. Try out the new release and see for yourself!
The new C++ standard, which was released last year, is now partially suppported in KDevelop. At least the parser should not trip over new language features such as initializer lists, lambdas, range-based for loops or variadic templates. Similarily, explicitly defaulted or deleted methods, auto, rvalue-references and many more features are supported. Many of the new stdlib classes can be used as well. We have to admit though, that the C++11 support is by far not complete yet, and we will continue to work on improving it in future releases.
Besides adding a few new features and improving the stability, this release also comes with some noteworthy performance improvements. Opening large projects with many files should be considerably faster now. Similarily, Quickopen should now be faster and more fluid, especially again when dealing with large projects.
