Hi,

Changes from 1.4.1 to 2.0beta1
==============================
- The Version number is now 2.0.

- KDevelop's user interface has been rewritten with the usage of the
multiple
  document interface architecture, allowing to view several windows.
  Also several views for the same file can be used.
- The view mode can be switched between Childframe mode, Toplevel mode
and
  TabPage mode
- The bookmark handling and the internal debugger were adapted to the
new GUI.
===> Both features are possible because now we base on QextMDI, a
library which
     supports advanced MDI for Qt and KDE.

- A new configuration wizard (based on QWizard) replaces the old,
messagebox
  based one.

- Project sessions (.kdevses) were introduced.

- Dockwidget usage has been extended to dock/undock the tabulator
windows in the
  Treeview and Outputview

- New templates for implementing a KDE/Qt style library and KControl
modules
  have been added.

- The kde-common/admin copy (admin.tar.gz) has been updated to the
latest
  version in KDE CVS. Users of versions prior to 2.0 are advised to
update
  their project's admin directory with that to support newer versions of
  autoconf and automake.

- KDevelop now uses the new tip of day dialog from kdelibs

- The user manual has been extended to match the new GUI layout plus
adds a
  chapter for using Qt Designer with KDevelop projects

- A newly added ctags-based search database enables "Goto
  definition/declaration" and the switch between .h and .cpp file. It
requires
  ctags-5.0.1.

- The compiler output is shown coloured.

- Man pages are accessable via KDevelop's help browser.

- The functionality of KDevelop was splitted in shared libraries.

- Sounds for KDevelop events (system notification in KDE's Control
Center) are
  supported.

- The configuration of shared libs subprojects was improved.

- Lots of small and big bugfixes are made, especially in the editor.

==> Note:
    KDevelop-2.0 bases on the source code of the previously released
version
    1.4.1.


Note
====
Gideon is the codename of KDevelop-3.0 which is already under
construction on
KDevelop's CVS HEAD branch and which will be released some time later
after
the release of 2.0.
If you like to join the KDevelop developers, don't hesitate to contact
us at
kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org! We need you bugfixes and patches for 2.0 as
well
as your contributions for Gideon!
