KDevelop 5.0 Enters Beta With Qt5/KF5 Port

The first beta of KDevelop 5.0 is now available. This huge update comes after more than a year of hard work and its code-base has been ported over to using Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.

Besides the big step-up in using Qt5 and KF5, KDevelop has replaced its legacy C++ parser and semantic analysis plug-in with a more powerful one derived from LLVM's Clang compiler and its extensive code analysis tools.

Further making KDevelop 5.0 exciting are CMake build improvements, integrated semantic language support for QML and JavaScript, and there is greater performance out of this integrated development environment thanks to the cleaned-up code-base.

More details on the KDevelop 5.0 Beta can be found via KDevelop.org.
