But I also want you to <br>understand that we do not have the manpower, or interest, in supporting <br>outdated versions of KDevelop. Version 4.6.0 is 2.5y old - not old by <br>corporate standards, but old enough in FOSS standards.<br><br>In general, as a developer, I can only recommend you to use the latest tools <br>available to you to increase your productivity. If that means installing a VM <br>with a more modern distro, then it may be worth it. If neither is allowed by <br>your employer, you'll either have to live with the brokenness, or seek a new <br>job ;-)<br><br>Cheers<br>-- <br>Milian Wolff<br>mail@milianw.de<br>http://milianw.de</p></blockquote></body></html>
