           Summary: When KDevelop rescans an updated project a synposis of
                    the updates would be helpful
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: savoiu ics uci edu


Version:           3.0.90 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc3.2 
OS:                Linux

I see that KDevelop spends quite a few cycles determining what in the project has changed (added classes, methods, typedefs, etc.). 

I think it would be useful if the user would be presented with a list (a la CTAGS) of the added/changed/removed items. We can probably refine/filter what/how things would be displayed.

One particular use for this I think would be in large, multideveloper projects. It would alert one to new functionality that was added. Say a helper function for a tedious piece of code has been written. Getting the notification would allow me to at a glance (if others use descriptive names) see if such code that I might find useful has been added.

Perhaps even the KDevelop developers could use this :)

What do you guys think?
