KDevelop 5.1 is now the most advanced stable version of the application, which is written entirely in Qt and designed to be used on various GNU/Linux distributions that usually ship with the KDE Plasma desktop environment, but also on the latest releases of the Microsoft Windows operating system. Lots of cool new features have been implemented in KDevelop 5.1, which has been in development for the past three months. These include support for the next-generation, high-performance LLDB debugger, initial support for OpenCL (Open Computing Language), as well as improved support for the Python language.
