Qt Creator 4.6 Beta Rolls Out With C++17 Features, Navigation Improvements

The Qt Company this morning announced the beta availability of the Qt Creator 4.6 integrated development environment.

While it has been two months to the day since the Qt Creator 4.5 release, there is a fair amount of changes in store for the Qt Creator 4.6 release.

Thanks to Qt Creator 4.6 Beta upgrading its Clang code model back-end from v3.9 to v5.0, there is now support for many more C++17 features. Qt Creator 4.6 also now allows for integrating Clang-Tidy and Clazy warnings into diagnostic messages within the C++ editor.

The Qt Creator 4.6 Beta release also adds new filters to the locator and other navigation improvements. Last but not least are also enhancements to the Qt Creator model editor.
