[tobias.hunger]

Hello everybody!

Small things start to happen again in the master branch:

* word-wise movement now jumps between words in camel-cased names
* Work on adding a GLSL editor is has started. The OpenGL Shader Language
   can be used inside QML to do stunning effects and we want to support this in 
Qt Creator.
* Welcome screen updates: Simplify the welcome screen code by usign QML.
* More refactoring of the debugger plugin

All the while testing of the 2.1 branch continues and we are still fixing small 
issues there in preparation
for a rock-solid release.

As usual all our code is available at:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator

Please report any issues and feature requests you have here:

Best Regards,
Tobias

Hello everybody!

We are still preparing for the upcoming 2.1 release, so everybody here 
is either testing or fixing issues.

Noteworthy improvements are:

  * Creator now lists all Qt Quick examples

  * QML text editor was sped up. Please file a bug report if you you
consider it to be sluggish still.

  * Handling of encodings when searching files was improved in the 2.1
branch.

Most work happened in the 2.1 branch this week with some of the more 
intrusive patches being submitted to the mater branch. It is available here:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator

Binary snapshots of Qt Creator are available here:

[Qt-creator] This week in creator

[Tobias Hunger]

Hello again!

This is a short summary of what happened in creator this week:

---+++ General:
* The MSVC parser was improved: It should now provide more context 
information than before and will keep the error codes visible in the 
build issues it generates.
* Polishing VCS support
   * support for CVS edit was added
   * branches are now supported in the git checkout wizard

---+++ Project Management:
* Project tree now shows files that will be deployed together with 
the application
* A new Qt4-project based QML wizard is taking shape. It will ease 
integration of QML and C++ code into one project. Currently the new 
wizard supports most of the features of the existing QML project wizard. 
The pure QML project will get removed once the Qt4 project becomes a 
full replacement for its functionality.

---+++ Symbian:
* Working with the Qt 4 team the SBSv2 (aka. raptor) support was 
improved. Qmake/SBSv2 and GCCE do now play together nicely.
* A parser to extract errors and warnings from the SBSv2 output was 
added.
* Deploying and launching of applications on the phone was polished.

---+++ Code Model:
* The sidebar can now be used to display type hierarchies. See 
http://share.ovi.com/media/tobias.hunger.Qtcreator/tobias.hunger.10005
* Syntax highlighter became fast. *Very* fast!
* Several issues with searching for usage of symbols were fixed.
* Major improvements to the semantic pass. Semantic checks will be 
easier to write now as a result of this refactoring.
* New QmlJS indenter which is much better integrated with the code 
model, making it faster and more flexible. Please report regressions!
* QuickFix API was refactored: Multifile quick fixes are much easier 
to implement now. New QuickFixes using this infrastructure:
   * Add declaration QuickFix was added (C++)
   * Make child into component QuickFix was added (QML)

All changes are available in the master branch found here:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator

We do expect some regressions with the changes we did this week, so 
please report any unusual behavior here:
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/

Have fun testing Qt Creator!

Best Regards,
