Qt Creator version 2.2 contains bug fixes and new features.
The most important changes are listed in this document. For a complete
list of changes, see the Git log for the Qt Creator sources that
you can check out from the public Git repository. For example:
git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator.git
git log --cherry-pick --pretty=oneline origin/2.1...origin/2.2
General
* Add support for running user defined external tools (Tools > External)
* Move tool chain definitions out of Qt versions:
* You can now define tool chains in Tools > Options > Tool Chains
* Qt Creator now supports more than one instance of a tool chain
* Add support for customizing MIME types by editing patterns and
magic headers
* Integrate the memcheck tool from Valgrind for Linux and Mac OS X
* Create the infrastructure to set up "soft dependencies" between plugins
* Add the qtpromaker tool that has the same functionality as
"qmake -project", but is much faster. It provides a way to easily set up
dummy .pro files that you need to quickly inspect and navigate "alien"
codebases with Qt Creator
* Document Qt Creator coding style
Editing
* Add an Inkpot color scheme
* Add UTF-8 BOM support
* Move the Open in External Editor item to Tools > External > Text
* Add the Expand/Collapse All context menu item to the Outline pane
* Add support for user-defined macros (contributed by Nicolas Arnaud-Cormos)
* Add a snippet editor with syntax highlighting, indentation, and basic
auto-completion for C++ and QML
* Add GLSL support with:
- Syntax checking
- Highlighting
- Code completion
* Binary editor:
- Visualize data differences after updates
- Fix selection if cursor is left of anchor
- Allow copying also if selection is "backwards"
- Do not draw blinking cursor when there is a selection
FakeVim:
- Implement Ctrl-N/Ctrl-P
- Implement 's' in visual block mode
- Fix Alt-Gr handling on Windows
- Handle more Ctrl-W + <x> commands
Managing Projects
* Improve the robustness of qmake project support against syntax errors
* Change the handling of command line arguments of processes that are
started from build and run configurations:
- Argument lists use native shell syntax; this affects quoting and
environment variable expansion most
- The SOURCEDIR and BUILDDIR environment variables were replaced
with %{sourceDir} and %{buildDir} variables
- This affects working directories and executable paths as well
* Support syntax highlighting and completion for qmake project files
* CMake: Add UI completion, changes in .ui files are picked up without
a rebuild
* Specify text editor behavior settings per project
* New project and file wizards:
- Support new keywords %MONTH% and %DAY% for C++ template file
- Add wizards for creating OpenGL fragment and vertex shaders
- Add a wizard for creating HTML5 based applications
- Add a wizard for creating JavaScript files, QTCREATORBUG-3070
Debugging
* Rewrite debugging engine using the Microsoft Console Debugger (CDB)
for debugging executables built with Microsoft Visual Studio,
resulting in significant speed-up and better display of data
types, supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the
Debugging Tools for Windows
* Make it possible to pin debugger tooltips
* Rework global architecture to allow multiple debugging sessions (for
different projects, combined QML/C++ debugging, project snapshots,
and so on)
* Rework breakpoint handling: add special breakpoint types for break
on throw and break on main, as well as data breakpoints
* Introduce combined QML/C++ debugging (combined stack, cross-step) (GDB only)
* Rework per-type and per-item selection of display formats
* Add dumpers for QTextCursor, QTextDocument, __m128, QScriptValue
QBasicAtomicPointer, bit fields, boost::shared_ptr (GDB only)
* Improve dumpers for QRegion, QVariant (custom types), QSharedPointer,
QMultiMap (QTCREATORBUG-3122), QObject, QWeakPointer
* Make alphabetic structure member sorting optional
* Make dumpers robust in case of missing debug information
* Improve Python dumper profiling support
* Improve stepping performance
* Enable breakpoint setting from a disassembler view, QTCREATORBUG-3667
* Fix display of shadowed variables
* Fix display of data containing quote characters, QTCREATORBUG-3084
* Fix display of C-style typedef struct X { ... } X;
* Fix stack/break view updates after manual module loading, QTCREATORBUG-3427
* Fix Jump To/Run To when in instruction-wise mode
* Fix the watcher handling
* Allow re-running debugger engines, QTCREATORBUG-3073
* Robust process control after -exec-interrupt errors, QTCREATORBUG-2850
* Robust detection of Qt-in-namespace builds
* Handle "live updates" in the memory view
* Make memory view writable (GDB only)
* Improve starting debugger session directly from the command line
* Improve Debugging Helpers dialog
Debugging QML/JS
* Compile qmljsdebugger code as static library, and link it according to the
setting in the qmake step (replaces QMLJSDEBUGGER_PATH / QMLJSDEBUGGER define)
* Qt Quick Application: Allow debugging also in release builds, improve error
diagnostics
* GUI cosmetics in JS debugger: Show stack frame level, only valid
line numbers in stack view, do not show function code, show dummy
child entry for empty arrays
* Added QML tooltips for property inspection at debug time
* Extend QML Observer for inspection and tweaking of item properties
* Add navigation of the object tree in the QML Observer through a crumble path
* Add the Show Application on Top option
* Move the toolbar from the Observer tab to the main toolbar
* Support setting of breakpoints in .qml files embedded as qrc resources
* Improve linking of QML errors in Application Output pane
C++ Support

a Q_PROPERTY
