New in Qt Creator 4.5.2 (Mar 19, 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” 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” 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 “=” 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 24, 2017)

New in Qt Creator 4.2.0 (Dec 14, 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 Qt SCXML 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 its diverse settings in Projects mode. Instead of nested tabs, you now select the project from a dropdown. The settings form 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.
CMake support:
Several fixes and improvements were implemented, like: Improvement of performance when opening CMake projects, and support for predefined options for properties. In addition, Tobias contributed the server-mode to CMake in preparation for a much more complete CMake support in the next Qt Creator release.
QML Profiler:
When profiling your QML code you now have the option to show memory usage and allocations as flame graphs as well. You can now position orientation lines.

Other Additions and Improvements:
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.
