KScope - Source Editing Environment for KDE

News

February 6, 2007

A new Alpha release is available for download. Highlights of this version include a front-end for Make, a global bookmarks system and much more. Be warned that these features may be unstable. For mission-critical work, please stick with the 1.4.x series.

January 15, 2007

Version 1.4.3 fixes a few bugs, including several crashes. It also adds some minor (but, hopefully, useful) features.

October 16, 2006

Version 1.4.2 was released today, fixing one severe bug and adding a few small features.

August 23, 2006

Several bug reports and suggestions came in after version 1.4.0 was released. This has resulted in a new maintenance release, 1.4.1.

August 9, 2006

A new stable version is out. Version 1.4.0 replaces both the last stable (1.2.0) and the last development (1.3.4) versions. While changes since 1.3.4 are mainly cosmetic, but may be useful nonetheless. Please take a look at the Change Log.

June 27, 2006

KScope packages are now officially available for Debian (currently in the "unstable" repository). Thanks to Fathi Boudra for his contribution.

April 14, 2006

KScope 1.3.4, which was released today, no longer links with graphviz. Instead, KScope runs the dot executable as an external process. This should finally solve the licensing issues of the 1.3.x series.

February 17, 2006

Please see the important notice on the home page.

January 5, 2006

Version 1.3.3 is the first to be released under a two-clause BSD license. This license should be compatible with both KDE and Graphviz. On a non-legal note, this version sports a multi-view call graph/tree dialogue, which incorporates both the old tree widget and the new graph widget.

November 22, 2005

There seem to be some license issues with KScope. Apparently, KScope cannot link against the CPL'd graphviz while distributed under the GPL. This problem is currently being investigated, and may result in a change of license in the next release.

November 16, 2005

Version 1.3.2, the first Beta release on the road to 1.4.0, is ready. The most important changes include support for graphviz 2.6 and improved configuration scripts.

October 15, 2005

One more alpha release with the new graph widget. Please note that it is highly recommended to use the latest CVS snapshot of Cscope for this release.

August 26, 2005

Unofficial packages for Debian (Testing) and Kubuntu (Hoary) are available at the Download section.

June 30, 2005

A new development release (1.3.0) asks for your opinion on the new call graph. Please test it and let me know how it compares with the current call tree implementation. An introduction to the new graph can be found here.

May 25, 2005

Version 1.2.0 is finally out! This is the new stable release of KScope, which replaces version 1.0. It contains all the new features that were introduced in the 1.1.x branch, including automatic database rebuilds, code completion, multiple history pages, the new symbol dialogue and much more.
Important: A bug in Cscope prevents KScope from producing correct build progress information. Please consider upgrading to the latest CVS version of Cscope.

March 17, 2005

Another development version on the road to 1.2.0. This version is considered a Beta, which means that most features have been implemented, and we would now concentrate on bug fixes. Some highlights of this release include automatic Cscope/Ctags configuration, query results filters, and improved tab widgets.
Note: A fix to the build progress information has been committed to the CVS version of Cscope, and will be included with the next Cscope release. In the mean time, you can either use a CVS snapshot, or apply the patch to the latest stable version.

February 1, 2005

A new development release (1.1.0) presents a new internal design and many new features, including: automatic database rebuilds, symbol completion, query dialogue with history and symbol hinting, multiple history pages, and much more.
Note: There is a known bug in Cscope that prevents KScope from displaying progress information during database rebuilds. A patched version of Cscope is available from the Install page.

December 6, 2004

KScope 1.0 is out! This is the first stable release of KScope, with all reported bugs fixed. We also have a new website. Enjoy!

October 14, 2004

It's Beta time. Version 0.9 is the first (and hopefully last) Beta before a stable 1.0 release. Please check it and submit bug reports. New features in this version are listed in the change log.

August 5, 2004

An updated package, dubbed 0.8a, fixes some compilation problems found on several platforms. Note that this package does not include any code changes, and thus there is no need to upgrade working installations of version 0.8.

August 2, 2004

Version 0.8 is out, with several new features and bug fixes, as described in the change log. Please note that the file format for saved queries has changed, so queries saved with version 0.7 will not be loaded.

June 15, 2004

We have a 0.7 release, which includes such goodies as session management, query locking and handling standalone cscope.out files. Have a look at the complete change log.

April 21, 2004

It has been quiet for a few months, but version 0.6 is finally here. This version includes many new features and small improvements, most of them due to the helpful comments of KScope users. Please refer to the change log for a complete list of modifications since 0.5.
Note: Version 0.6 requires KDE 3.2.x. KScope will neither compile nor run under older versions of KDE.
Please download and install the new version. As always, any comments, bug reports or suggestions are welcome. Please use the forums available on KScope's SourceForge page. This way it is easier to track comments, and it also allows open discussion of any suggestions.

March 16, 2004

You are encouraged to test the CVS code and report any problems or wishes towards the next version of KScope (see the CVS version of the change log for a list of changes made thus far.)

January 3, 2004

Happy new year! KScope 0.5 is ready. It includes some small enhancements and bug fixes. Furthermore, the source code is now available on CVS, thanks to SourceForge.

December 18, 2003

KScope is now hosted on SourceForge.net.

October 9, 2003

The new KScope 0.4 release is focused on bug fixes. In addition, it also contains a much improved project management system, and a new manual.

September 16, 2003

Cscope 15.5 was released this week. This is the first official Cscope release that includes the '-v' option, utilised by KScope. This means that you can now use the stock Cscope builds, instead of the CVS versions.

August 4, 2003

KScope 0.3 is out. Changes include a context menu for running queries directly from an editor window; a dummy progress dialogue, for lengthy operations that have no progress information (or for running Cscope without the '-v' option); a new query type for finding #including files; and several bug fixes.

July 21, 2003

KScope 0.2 is ready. Among the new features are a function call tree, sort buttons for the tag list, new icons, and more.

July 3, 2003

The first public release of KScope, 0.1, is ready. The main purpose of this initial release is to get user feedback for the KScope project.
