While many of you out there are enjoying the powerful new features and functionalities of KDevelop 5.0, version 5.0.3 being the most advanced build of the application, it looks like the project’s development team are still fixing bugs and add small improvements to the KDevelop 4.7 branch. Among the bug fixes that landed in the KDevelop 4.7.4 release, which looks like it’s a recommended update for all users using a previous version from the 4.7 series, we can mention a patch for a crash that occurred when attempting to run the software under GCC6 UBSAN, and fixes for various -fdelete-null-pointer-checks issues.
