It's been so many years since you made the last release and some of the crucial code-completion aspects are not working with the new C++ features such as brace initialization and typed enum classes.
I am starting to consider switching the IDE because of this, but maybe you are just about to make the next official release? If that's the case, I'd be willing to wait a couple of months. Let me know if there is any hope for the next release yet or not. Thanks!

A very long wait, I agree. And also, version 17.12 is not working absolutely. :'(
-
There would be a release soon, but I'm not sure it will fix your CC problems. You can try a night build to see if this is the case.

Is the source code available from git somewhere?
-
The source of the release? Yes it is in the release 20.xx branch on my repo or in svn.

How do you keep them in synch?
Is there any way I could verify SVN and your git repo contain the same code?
-
I use git svn fetch/git push combos. You can download them both and do some check summing or diffing if you want to be 100% sure. If you want minimal reassurance then you can check the git commits for the svn revision (they have it in the commit message)...

I built codeblocks 20.xx branch. The program starts but is unusable. See the attached screenhots. I am unable to open an existing project and there are no plugins either which I could enable to satisfy the first error message.
Also, when I click help -> about, the program crashes

How have you built the plugin? If you've used make install (without passing custom --prefix to configure) you've mess your system up. Also you have to uninstall the old codeblocks if you're going to install in the default location (/usr/local/).

I didn't install anything. Just executed the binary in the src/src folder.
edit:
I tried both:
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all
and
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-contrib-plugins=all,-help
same results

You need to do make install if you want to have a working binary. Using --prefix=/usr is even worse than using the default. It will mess with the files of the package manager and it might break it. Use a prefix in your home folder to be safe or something like /opt/codeblocks/...
