Release highlights of KDevelop 5.0.0 include much-improved support for C/C++ language, which is now backed by the LLVM/Clang compiler for performing C and C++ code analysis, thus replacing the old custom C++ analysis engine used in previous releases of the software. Successfully ported to the latest KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 5 technologies, KDevelop 5.0.0 also comes with multiple enhancements to the PHP and Python programming languages, CMake support, QML/JavaScript support, QMake support, new navigation widget, per-project widget coloring, as well as progress reporting of make/ninja jobs.
