- It is now possible to have multiple tag files active at the same time, making it possible to do lightning quick searches in external sources.
- Improved UI
- Simple IDEAl UI mode is now the default

- C++ Support
- switch header/implementation

- status bar shows the type of the expression under the cursor
- c++ parser
- Modify the parser to extract comments from the code, attach them to corresponding items, and store them into the AST
- Fix a case where the cpp parser suddenly ate all RAM when facing macro-heavy files
- Modify the parser to extract comments from the code, attach them to corresponding items, and store them into the AST
- code model
- make the code-model and repository store more information like templates and comments, and provide them.
- the code-model now completely works with nested classes that are forward-declared in one file, and completely declared in another(file-groups are managed now, and code-model-items that are physically from one file, can now be attached to another, so some search-functions had to be improved).
- make the code-model and repository store more information like templates and comments, and provide them.
- code completion
- is much more reliable
- was rewritten in big parts
- works within template-classes
- works within functions of classes that are imported by using-directives
- can parse much more complex expressions and can easily be extended to understand additional operators(using an abstract operator-class)
- supports class-templates, function-templates, and even implicit template-instantiation for function-templates
- evaluates all types in the completion-entry-list and shows their template-processed(real) types
- calltips and the completion-list show the corresponding comments
- the completion-entry-list now shows the members sorted by their access-rights, and shows a note behind members that are protected/private
- Fixes the bug of KDevelop crashing while completing a class which has itself as base-class and a few other little bugs
- is much more reliable
- new context-menus that evaluate the expression under the cursor and allow to browse the code and the code-model using all types and variables involved
- new class wizard
- bug fixes
- creation of headers only
- bug fixes
- switch header/implementation
- Class View and Navigator
- Add function-name-highlighting to the class-view and navigator
- Make the navigator provide an own KCompletion so it is possible to write function-names without scope and get them completed
- Restore ClassView state after refresh. The ClassView will now no longer close after each successful build
- Add function-name-highlighting to the class-view and navigator
- QuickOpen
- Arbitrary parts of the scope can now be used as a filter while searching for classes or functions
- Quick open class has an additional selection dialog for cases when more than one class with given name exist
- Arbitrary parts of the scope can now be used as a filter while searching for classes or functions
- Ruby Support

- The parser recognizes classes in the modules
- Use irb as a shell
- Fix documentation TOC links so they work correctly for Rails and QtRuby
- Use the Run menu option to start WEBrick.

- does not loop in certain cases
- recognizes "self.method"
- Rails application template
- PHP Support

- Uses utf8 for created files - no encoding problems anymore
- Valgrind integration
- Use the environment variables as set in the run options
- Use the environment variables as set in the run options
- Misc
- Add toolbar and menu entry for "Goto Last Edit Position"
- Improved support for encodings
- KDevelop will now obey the selected encoding in the File Open dialog
- The OpenWith plugin now offers all available encodings in "Open As"
- The encoding for each open file is saved with the session, and will be used to open that file the next time the project is loaded
- Default encoding can be set per project in the Project Options - this will be the default when opening a file
- File Open encoding will default to the open project's default
- KDevelop will now obey the selected encoding in the File Open dialog
- Moved plugin selection dialog out of project setting dialog and into main menu Settings menu and made it profile-based
