Qt Creator Changelog

What's new in Qt Creator 13.0.0

Apr 4, 2024

General:
We provide offline and online installers for Linux on ARM now!
We updated the visual style for Welcome mode. Also see the separate blog post on Qt Creator themes.
We improved the docking UI that is currently used in Debug mode and Widget Designer. The "locked" state is gone, and instead you can always drag panels around at the titles. For multiple panels that are layed out in a vertical stack, we added the option to temporarily collapse individual panels.
Platforms:
We added support for creating, building, deploying, running, and debugging applications for devices that use the Qt Application Manager (for Qt 6 and CMake based applications). (Documentation)
We added partial support for iOS 17 devices: Detection works, and you can deploy applications and run them. Debugging and profiling is unfortunately not supported at the moment, and we also cannot access the application output. These are current limitations of the new tool that Apple provides for access to devices with iOS 17 and later.
Projects:
We changed the default build directory to be within a "build" subdirectory of the project sources. This was needed for Docker support, but also is a very common pattern for CMake projects. Of course, you can still switch back to a different default build directory in Preferences > Build & Run > Default Build Properties > Default build directory.
Vanished targets: If you open a project that was configured for a kit that is no longer available, Qt Creator created "Replacement for ..." kits automatically. Qt Creator 13 instead lists these targets in a "Vanished Targets" section in Projects mode, and allows you to create a kit, or copy the preserved build, deploy, and run settings to a different kit there. (Documentation)
You can create Python kits for your Python projects with the "Generate Kit" button in the Python interpreters preferences now. (Documentation)
Editing:
Qt Creator can now set up language servers for YAML, JSON, and Bash for you (via npm). (Documentation)
You can now navigate from QML components to the corresponding C++ code in the project.
The Clang Format settings were re-organized. Custom settings are now a text editor with syntax checking. (Documentation)
We fixed that "Follow Symbol Under Cursor" only worked for exact matches with Clangd. It now uses the built-in code model as a fallback if no exact match is found.

New in Qt Creator 4.15.2 (Jul 14, 2021)

New in Qt Creator 5.0.0 Beta 1 (Jul 8, 2021)

New in Qt Creator 4.15.1 (Jun 9, 2021)

New in Qt Creator 4.15.0 (May 5, 2021)

General:
We added a locator filter for opening files from anywhere on your disk. This locator filter was already available on macOS using Spotlight. Now it also is available on Linux and Windows, and can be configured to use any external command line tool that returns a list of files. The default setting is using "locate" on Linux and "everything" on Windows.
Sometimes it is difficult to configure the environment variables that are set when Qt Creator is run, which in turn affects external tools run from Qt Creator. We added a global option for this in Tools > Options > Environment > System > Environment. This adapts the system environment which is then further modified by the kit environment, the build environment, and the run environment.
If you have issues with the encoding of tool output in Qt Creator on Windows, you can now set the encoding that Qt Creator uses for this in Tools > Options > Environment > Interface > Text codec for tools.
Editing:
Please see our change log for the long list of fixes that were done for the C++ support. I'll just mention here that you now can filter the result of searching symbol usages by access type.
The QML editor can handle inline components now, and received some more fixes for advanced JavaScript features.
Our client for the Language Server Protocol got support for versioned diagnostics, progress messages, and new formatting options in protocol version 3.15.0 (if your language server provides these). We also simplified the configuration of a Java language server, and generally improved support for it.
Projects:
We fixed several issues that made it hard to configure CMake projects that have special prerequisites to successfully parse at all. Aside from multiple other fixes, Qt 6-based CMake projects can now also target iOS.
Speaking of iOS, we finally fixed deployment to iOS 14 devices.
There is a new option for running applications as root from Qt Creator.
Debugging:
We added the option to show simple values of variables inline in the text editor, while debugging. Turn this option on or off in Tools > Options > Debugger > General > Use annotations in main editor while debugging.
Please check our change log for a more complete list of improvements.
A note on future versions: Qt Creator 4.15 will be the last release in the Qt Creator 4.x series. Our summer release will be Qt Creator 5 and our winter release Qt Creator 6, followed by 7, 8, and so on. That does not mean that we are rewriting Qt Creator so much, but simply that we change our versioning scheme to semantic versioning.

New in Qt Creator 4.14.1 (Feb 23, 2021)

New in Qt Creator 4.14.0 (Dec 17, 2020)

Qt 6 Support:
Qt Creator 4.14 fixes many issues when using Qt 6 for your application. The project wizards now generate CMake projects compatible with Qt 6. The pretty printers for Qt types needed adaptations to the internal changes to types. We fixed issues with new features in the QML language in our QML code model.
If you plan to use or test Qt 6 for your applications, make sure to use Qt Creator 4.14 for the best experience.
C++ Support:
We updated the Clang code model to Clang 11.
Otherwise we continued with lots of fixes and additions for the C++ code model and refactoring support, small and not quite so small. They are too many to mention them all here, so please have a look at the change log for details.
Your C++ code is now automatically analyzed with Clazy and Clang-Tidy while typing again, and corresponding annotations are added to the code editor. Turn this feature off or on in the options, under Analyzer > Clang Tools > Analyze open files.
Projects:
A note to all who use variables for external tools and configuration items: We renamed the "CurrentProject:*" variables to "CurrentDocument:Project:*", which better reflects their semantics. Please start using the new names as the old ones will be removed at some point.
If you had issues with opening qmake-based projects because "system" functions are executed: This functionality can now be turned off in the options, under Build & Run > Qmake > Ignore qmake's system() function when parsing a project.
For CMake projects we improved kit detection when importing builds. It should less often create a completely new kit now. When you change the build directory of an existing build configuration to a directory that already contains a build, it no longer is overwritten. Instead, Qt Creator accepts the existing build as the new "truth" on how the project was configured now. We also fixed a bug that configuration changes before triggering the first actual build of a project were lost.
Other:
We switched the default help viewer backend to use litehtml, so the default display of help in Qt Creator is much nicer. There were many other fixes, for Android support, version control integration, and in other areas. Have a look at our change log for a more detailed list.

New in Qt Creator 4.13.0 (Aug 26, 2020)

General:
Qt Creator supports setting multiple shortcuts for the same action now. Do you ever mix up shortcuts because your second-favorite editor uses different ones than Qt Creator? Just open Preferences > Environment > Keyboard, find the action and press Add (as long as you do not introduce a conflict with another shortcut). Personally I added some Emacsey shortcuts for splitting and some other actions to my configuration. (Since I am on a Mac, Ctrl+X is free to use for me.)
If you wonder where some items from the Window menu went: We moved them to a new View menu, which seems to be common to have.
Editing:
We updated LLVM for the C++ code model to LLVM 10, implicitly improving support for C++20 features. The code model also received many smaller fixes and improvements. Please refer to the change log for details.
Our client for the language server protocol now supports renaming symbols if the server supports it.
If you program in Python, you might find a new feature useful: The editor has a new tool button that allows you to open Python interactively, optionally importing the current file as a module, so you can directly start testing what you just wrote.
For QML we fixed some issues with Qt 5.15, and added support for required list properties.
Projects:
We completely revamped the CMake support in Qt Creator. One of the biggest issues with CMake support was that Qt Creator had its own idea about the build configuration of a project, and that could conflict heavily with an existing build, or could cause problems if the configuration was changed on the command line later. In the new version, Qt Creator accepts an existing build configuration as the truth, no matter what for example the settings for CMake in the kit are. Qt Creator still reads the configuration, and provides an editor for it, but it will never complain about conflicts anymore. If you want to configure the build for a project from scratch, you have the option to pass any CMake variables that you like, pre-filled with the configuration from the kit. Note that Qt Creator now requires CMake 3.14 or later.
Our auto-test integration supports the Catch2 testing framework now.
Targets:
QML debugging and profiling on Android works again, and we fixed issues with debugging on x86 and armv7 architectures and the emulator.
We fixed an issue that could lead to the debugger taking a very long time to start up on iOS devices.
Please have a look at our change log for an overview of all the other fixes and improvements that are included in Qt Creator 4.13.

Generic Programming Language Support:
In Qt Creator 4.8 we’ll introduce experimental support for the language server protocol. For many programming languages there is a “language server” available, which provides IDEs with a whole lot of information about the code, as long as they support communicating via the protocol.
This means that by providing a client for the language server protocol, Qt Creator gets (some) support for many programming languages “for free”. Currently Qt Creator supports code completion, highlighting of the symbol under cursor, and jumping to the symbol definition, as well as integrates diagnostics from the language server. Highlighting and indentation are still provided by our generic highlighter, since they are not provided via the language server protocol.
To use a language server, you first need to enable the LanguageClient plugin in Help > About Plugins (Qt Creator > About Plugins on macOS). Then add the server in Tools > Options > Language Client, choosing a MIME type (glob patterns are in the works), server executable and any required command line arguments. The server is automatically started – just open a file of the corresponding type and start hacking :).
Note that the client is mostly tested with Python. There will most probably be one or the other issue when you try your most favorite language. Also, we currently do not support language servers that require special handling. If you find issues, we are happy to receive bug reports, preferably including Qt Creator console output with the environment variable QT_LOGGING_RULES=qtc.languageclient.*=true set.
C++ Support:
On the C++ side we added some experimental features.
Compilation Database Projects:
Open a compilation database as a project purely for editing and navigating code. A compilation database is basically a list of files and the compiler flags that are used to compile them. Some build systems and tools are able to generate such databases for use in other tools. In Qt Creator it feeds the code model with the necessary information for correctly parsing the code. Enable the plugin CompilationDatabaseProjectManager to try it.
Clang Format Based Indentation:
Does auto-indentation via LibFormat which is the backend used by Clang Format. Enable the plugin ClangFormat to try it.
Cppcheck Diagnostics:
Integrates diagnostics generated by the tool Cppcheck into the editor. Enable the plugin Cppcheck to try it.
Aside from many other fixes, the Clang code model can now jump to the symbol represented by the auto keyword. It also allows generation of a compilation database from the information that the code model has via Build > Generate Compilation Database.
Debugging:
We added support for simultaneously running debuggers on one or more executables. When multiple debuggers are currently running, you can switch between the instances with a new drop-down menu in the debugger tool bar in Debug mode.

New in Qt Creator 4.6.2 (Jun 11, 2018)

New in Qt Creator 4.7.0 Beta 1 (Jun 5, 2018)

C++ Support:
The greatest improvements were again done for our Clang based C++ support. First of all we made the Clang code model the default for Qt Creator 4.7. That is quite a milestone after years of experimenting and developing, so Nikolai has wrapped up the history and current state in a separate blog post. I’ll just summarize some of the most important changes in 4.7 here.
We did another upgrade of the backend to Clang 6.0, which was released this March. This brings all its improvements like new and fixed diagnostics to Qt Creator as well.
The outline pane and dropdown, the locator filter for symbols in the current document, and Follow Symbol inside the current translation unit (meaning current document and its includes) are now based on Clang too.
You can now perform the static checks from Clang-Tidy and Clazy on the whole project or a subset. This is implemented as a new analyzer tool in Debug mode (Analyzer > Clang-Tidy and Clazy). We also improved the settings, and fixed that the static checks had a performance impact on completion.
Note that you can opt-out of using Clang code model by manually disabling the ClangCodeModel plugin in Help > About Plugins (Qt Creator > About Plugins on macOS). That said, it is very important that we get as much feedback as possible at this stage, so please create bugreports for all issues that you find.
QML Support:
The QML code model now includes minimal support for user defined enums, which is a new feature in Qt 5.10 and later. Additionally some reformatting errors have been fixed.
Test Integration:
If your text cursor in the C++ editor is currently inside a test function, you can directly run that individual test with the new Run Test Under Cursor action. The test integration now also marks the location of failed tests in the editor. For Google Test we added support for filtering.
Other Improvements:
The kit options got their own top-level entry in the preferences dialog, which is also the very first one in the list. In the file system view you can now create new folders. By default it now shows folders before files, but you can opt-out to the previous, purely alphabetic sorting by unchecking the option in the filter button menu. In the context menu on file items at various places, for example the projects tree, file system view and open documents list, there is a new item that opens a properties dialog, showing name, path, mime type, permissions and many more properties of the file.

New in Qt Creator 4.5.1 (Feb 13, 2018)

New in Qt Creator 4.6.0 Beta 1 (Feb 7, 2018)

C++ Support:
The possibly most noteworthy and least directly visible change is that we upgraded the backend for the Clang code model from Clang 3.9 to Clang 5.0. This enables support for many C++17 features that were not available in Clang 3.9. The Clang code model is not used by default. Open Help > About Plugins (Qt Creator > About Plugins on macOS) and turn on the ClangCodeModel plugin to enable it.
Another feature that is not visible until you enable it, is the new option to integrate Clang-Tidy and Clazy warnings into the diagnostic messages that you see in the C++ editor. Go to Options > C++ > Code Model > Clang Code Model Warnings, create a copy of one of the presets, and choose the checks that you want to be performed.
The informational tooltips on symbols are now generated from information from Clang instead of the built-in model (if you enabled the Clang code model). It now resolves auto to the actual type and shows template parameters for template types. It shows the first or the brief paragraph of a documentation comment, too.
We also added separate highlighting of function definitions and fixed some issues with saving header files on Windows while Clang has a grip on them.
Navigation:
We added 3 more filters to Locator. Type “b<space>” to jump to a bookmark, filtering on file name and notes. The other two are not directly related to navigation but nevertheless useful.
The filter “t<space>” triggers an item from the main menu. You can either use the display name of the item to locate it, or parts of the menu path leading to it. For example “t sess expe” could be used to trigger the menu item File > Sessions > Experimental Stuff.
Use “=<space>” to evaluate simple ECMAScript (JavaScript) expressions. You have all functionality from the ECMA-262 specification at your disposal, and for convenience, we also added the functions from the Math object as global functions (so you can write “max(1, 2)” instead of “Math.max(1, 2)”).
We continued the work on the File System navigation pane that we started with 4.5. It now has breadcrumbs for the file path at the top, and we added actions for adding, removing, and renaming files to its context menu.
Model Editor:
Thanks to Jochen, the original contributor to the model editor, it received a big update in this release. It now supports text alignment and multi-line object names. You can export only selected elements or the whole diagram to images. A wider range of panes now supports drag & drop of items. Enable the model editor by enabling the plugin in Help > About Plugins (Qt Creator > About Plugins on macOS).

New in Qt Creator 4.2.1 (Jan 23, 2017)

New in Qt Creator 4.2.0 RC 1 (Nov 30, 2016)

New in Qt Creator 4.2.0 Beta 1 (Oct 27, 2016)

QT SCXML EDITOR:
Qt SCXML is a new module in Qt that allows you to create state machines from State Chart XML and embed them into Qt C++ and Qt Quick applications (Overview). It was released as Technical Preview in Qt 5.7 and will be released fully supported with Qt 5.8.
Qt Creator 4.2 now supplements the module by offering a graphical editor for SCXML (experimental). It features editing states and sub-states, transitions, events, and all kinds of properties. The editor is experimental and the plugin is not loaded by default. Turn it on in Help > About Plugins (Qt Creator > About Plugins on macOS) to try it.
PROJECTS MODE:
We reworked how you select the project and it’s diverse settings in Projects mode. Instead of nested tabs, you now select the project from a dropdown, and the settings that you want to edit from a tree that shows all available kits and other categories, making for a much cleaner UI. Enabling use of a kit for a project is now easily done by clicking the entry in the tree. Please provide feedback on any remaining issues through our bug tracker.
QT QUICK DESIGNER:
Qt Quick Designer has received many smaller features in this release. In the connections editor there is a new section for managing the imports and property definitions that are necessary for using C++ backend objects (documentation). Also support for padding (Qt Quick 2.6) was added, and you can now edit the when condition of states, and the diverse font properties of text items.
OTHER ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS:
When profiling your QML code you now have the option to show memory usage and allocations as flame graphs as well.
We added Tools > Diff > Diff Current File and Diff Open Files for showing a local diff of the modifications of files in Qt Creator with respect to their versions on disk.
Performance of opening CMake projects was improved, and support for predefined options for properties was added.
