In addition, KDevelop 2.0 adds support for the Qt 3.0 beta releases, together with the accompanying Qt Designer and Qt Linguist tools.

KDevelop is a leading Linux IDE with numerous features for rapid application development, including a GUI dialog builder, integrated debugging, project management, documentation and translation facilities, built-in concurrent development support, and much more. This release includes a number of new features, including a setup wizard, code navigation, a console, man page support and colored text, as well as a number of new project templates, including control center (KControl) modules, panel (Kicker) applets, kio-slaves, Konqueror plugins and desktop themes.
