We today provide a bugfix and localization update release with version 5.4.4. This release introduces no new features and as such is a safe and recommended update for everyone currently using a previous version of KDevelop 5.4. The KDevelop project started in 1998 at the University of Potsdam (Germany). The first released 0.1 was released the same year. KDevelop has experienced several rewrites. The first time was with version 3.x by Bernd Gehrmann in 2001 and the second time was with version 4.x with a more object-oriented architecture in 2009.
KDevelop is an IDE for the KDE platform. Even though it's cross-platform, it's mostly targeted at Linux systems and the versions for other operating systems are highly experimental.
# KDevelop A cross-platform IDE for C, C, Python, JavaScript and PHP Built on modern open source technology, the KDevelop IDE offers a seamless development environment to programmers that work on projects of any size. Xcode is both easy to use, and yet powerful enough to build the largest Mac OS X applications. The complete Mac OS X. KDevelop will now load the new project; in fact, you're ready to start off with actual code. As a short test, press the button that looks like a wheel on the toolbar; this will compile your application and run it for a test. The compiler will show all the messages in the output window. This is important to know in case you run into compiling.
