14 DAY TRIAL // The development team behind the open-source KDevelop IDE (Integrated Development Environment) software announced the release and immediate availability of the first maintenance update to the KDevelop 5.0 stable series.
KDevelop 5.0 was released just a month ago, and it brought lots of goodies, the biggest one being the port to the latest KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 5 technologies. Other features include improved C/C++ support, CMake support, and QML/JavaScript support.
KDevelop 5.0 also introduces several enhancements to the Python and PHP programming languages, a new navigation widget, progress reporting of ninja/make jobs, per-project widget coloring, as well as QMake support.
And now, KDevelop 5.0.1 is here as the first bugfix release in the series, patching multiple crashes reported by users with various components and functionalities, as well as adding a handful of general improvements to make the app more reliable.
"One month after the release of KDevelop 5.0.0, we are happy to release KDevelop 5.0.1 today, fixing a list of issues discovered with 5.0.0," reads the announcement. "An update to version 5.0.1 is highly recommended for everyone using 5.0.0."
The AppImage now includes the Subversion plugin
KDevelop 5.0.1 also ships with an updated AppImage, the binary format that lets you install the application on any GNU/Linux operating system, no matter the default package manager used. The AppImage now includes the Subversion plugin.
Various X11 libraries have been added as well in the AppImage to make it work on older systems, along with a fix for QtHelp. For now, the welcome page has been disabled. Download KDevelop 5.0.1 right now via our website and install it on your PC.
