successor of 20.03 available?

[TomS]

Hello Community,

I'm using B::C 20.03 since the first relaese and now I see that the nightly builds have included a lot of improvements over the last four years.
I'm woundering why there is no new release since 20.03? The compiler has changed, the wxwidgets have been changed to new version too,
but c::b  as official release (and binaries) is the same over the last four years.

Can we expect a new binary release of c::b soon?

Tanks in advance

Possibly yes in the not too distant future. Please do not ask, when exactly.

[Wkerry]

So blauzahn are you speaking for the CB dev team or personal speak?

[blauzahn]

I am no cb dev. So, it is personal speak. I use the current trunk anyway. Nonetheless, I assume that it will serve as the next release somewhen.

Hi devs, a new release is a good idea since LSP support is added. Now it is not easy to recommend codeblocks to others as most of them gets uninterested when I say they have to use nightly builds

main focus is on stabilizing the clangd plug-in.

And fix regressions in the before hidden glob feature.

Is it planning to prepare "Nightlies" tarballs under https://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Sources/ to simplify packaging developer preview versions in Linux distributives?
Unfortunately the zip archives that generated by Sourceforge on request are temporary and URLs lifetime seems lesser than 24 hours. If request it again the zip-file has differ checksum.

I used code::blocks in the past and I wanted to use it again, but when I saw the last update in the 'new' (https://www.codeblocks.org/post/) I almost give up because I thought the project was abandoned.
Not everyone will check if the project is alive based on nightly builds for more than 4 years.

Hello,
I See that I'm not alone with the requests for a new Release.
It looks like the way of keeping c::b alife by nightly build und may lead into a dead end.
What ist the Goal, having a perfekt IDE an no user who use it for his Hobby or Work
 or
supporting a wide Community with an almost perfekt ide which may have some problems until the next version will be released?

Look to commercial products, they keep their Produkts well running by distributing Updates which are simple to use and Install. The nb Show that the Dev Team works hard, but they have Not learned how to Transfer the sw in a propper way to common Users.

Good luck

Defenetly not alone, but unfortunatelly it looks like the devs only can ofer beta versions called nightly builds.

A new release is in the queue. The devs are working on it.

Really looking forward to it... hopefully Linux packages too. 

[fredIcn]

I second that.
CodeBlocks is a great product, the community is waiting anxiously

FWIW: MSYS2 has an mingw-w64-codeblocks package that's euphemistically versioned as "20.03.r13539-2" available in three binary packages, namely:
mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-codeblocks
mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-codeblocks
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-codeblocks

I'm waiting this new version since last year, I hope the new release had solved the symbol browser problems...
