Canonical's Zoltán Balogh has had the great pleasure of announcing the general availability of the new Ubuntu SDK IDE (Integrated Development Environment) packages for supported Ubuntu Linux operating systems.
According to Mr. Balogh, the new Ubuntu SDK release is a major one, based on Qt 5.4.2 and built around the QtCreator 3.5 version, but dropping all Qt dependencies, which means that the software has everything it needs in a single package. Initial support for the upcoming Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system has also been added.
"I am happy to announce that we have just released the new Ubuntu SDK IDE packages," says Zoltán Balogh. "More explanations why we just did that: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2015/11/19/here-comes-brand-new-ubuntu-sdk-ide-tools/. Enjoy and please give us feedback here or on IRC."
