theKompany.com Releases KDE Studio Gold, a GUI IDE for KDE
Jan 22nd, 21:51 UTC
This new release delivers a full-fledged IDE for the development
of sophisticated C++ KDE applications - including the high
utility features you expect from a modern development environment,
such as code completion, dynamic syntax highlighting and popup
function parameter lookup.
KDE Studio Gold is a commercial release of our Open Source KDE Studio project. KDE Studio is already enormously popular - why produce a commercial version ? The simple answer is that there are several features and additions which are consistently requested, and we decided to bundle these (and more) together with full documentation into a product for professional KDE development.
This new release delivers a full-fledged IDE for the development
of sophisticated C++ KDE applications - including the high
utility features you expect from a modern development environment,
such as code completion, dynamic syntax highlighting and popup
function parameter lookup. Debugging is simplified by tight
integration with kdbg in the IDE, and comprehensive documentation
is provided in the form of a "Getting Started" guide and a
reference manual.
KDE Studio supports complex projects, composed of multiple executables, static or shared libraries, all in one centralized workspace, including support for multiple targets from a single project.
You can explore the structure of your classes with an intuitive tree view. Functions and data members are exposed for a quick understanding of library structures. The class tree is updated on the fly while you type your code.
Place bookmarks on your code to speed up navigation.
Integrated support for Qt Designer files where clicking on a .ui file will bring up Qt Designer. Clicking on .po files brings up KBabel for translation. Qt Designer is a product from Trolltech AS.
The Gold release is available in two editions - Standard and Professional, both of which are available as a physical media or in electronic form. This flexible packaging and pricing allows you to get the components you need at the right price for your budget.
Both editions include all the same features and documentation, however the Professional Edition also includes Qt, KDE, libc & kernel documentation integrated into the help system. With the press of a (configurable) button, you can quickly find out the parameters and documentation to any function.
We are taking presales on both editions right now. The application will be available in electronic form in early February 2001 as will the extended help interface for the Professional Edition. Purchasers of both the physical and electronic versions will have access to the electronic version as soon as its available. The hard copy release will be shipped as soon as the packaging is back from the printer.
In consideration for early adopters of KDE Studio Gold we will be extending a discount on all sales made prior to the actual availability date. Pricing follows:
Standard Edition
$24.95 - $19.95 if purchased during pre-sales, download only, all electronic doc
