10 | General |
11 | * Add support for running user defined external tools (Tools > External) |
12 | * Move tool chain definitions out of Qt versions: |
13 | * You can now define tool chains in Tools > Options > Tool Chains |
14 | * Qt Creator now supports more than one instance of a tool chain |
15 | * Add support for customizing MIME types by editing patterns and |
16 | magic headers |
17 | * Integrate the memcheck tool from Valgrind for Linux and Mac OS X |
18 | * Create the infrastructure to set up "soft dependencies" between plugins |
19 | * Add the qtpromaker tool that has the same functionality as |
20 | "qmake -project", but is much faster. It provides a way to easily set up |
21 | dummy .pro files that you need to quickly inspect and navigate "alien" |
22 | codebases with Qt Creator |
23 | * Document Qt Creator coding style |
24 |
|
25 | Editing |
26 | * Add an Inkpot color scheme |
27 | * Add UTF-8 BOM support |
28 | * Move the Open in External Editor item to Tools > External > Text |
29 | * Add the Expand/Collapse All context menu item to the Outline pane |
30 | * Add support for user-defined macros (contributed by Nicolas Arnaud-Cormos) |
31 | * Add a snippet editor with syntax highlighting, indentation, and basic |
32 | auto-completion for C++ and QML |
33 | * Add GLSL support with: |
34 | - Syntax checking |
35 | - Highlighting |
36 | - Code completion |
37 | * Binary editor: |
38 | - Visualize data differences after updates |
39 | - Fix selection if cursor is left of anchor |
40 | - Allow copying also if selection is "backwards" |
41 | - Do not draw blinking cursor when there is a selection |
42 | FakeVim: |
43 | - Implement Ctrl-N/Ctrl-P |
44 | - Implement 's' in visual block mode |
45 | - Fix Alt-Gr handling on Windows |
46 | - Handle more Ctrl-W + <x> commands |
47 |
|
48 | Managing Projects |
49 | * Improve the robustness of qmake project support against syntax errors |
50 | * Change the handling of command line arguments of processes that are |
51 | started from build and run configurations: |
52 | - Argument lists use native shell syntax; this affects quoting and |
53 | environment variable expansion most |
54 | - The SOURCEDIR and BUILDDIR environment variables were replaced |
55 | with %{sourceDir} and %{buildDir} variables |
56 | - This affects working directories and executable paths as well |
57 | * Support syntax highlighting and completion for qmake project files |
58 | * CMake: Add UI completion, changes in .ui files are picked up without |
59 | a rebuild |
60 | * Specify text editor behavior settings per project |
61 | * New project and file wizards: |
62 | - Support new keywords %MONTH% and %DAY% for C++ template file |
63 | - Add wizards for creating OpenGL fragment and vertex shaders |
64 | - Add a wizard for creating HTML5 based applications |
65 | - Add a wizard for creating JavaScript files, QTCREATORBUG-3070 |
66 |
