The Qt Project released Qt Creator 11 as the latest stable version of this free, open source, cross-platform IDE (Integrated Development Environment) software for GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows platforms.
Highlights of Qt Creator 11 include an integrated terminal emulator that supports tabs, multiple layers, colors, and fonts, support for GitHub Copilot based on the Copilot Neovim plugin, initial support for Axivion Suite static code analysis software, as well as revamped Qt examples.
The built-in terminal is enabled by default and will be used when accessing the “Run in Terminal” feature and opening terminals from various places in Qt Creator. On the other hand, GitHub Copilot is now enabled by default, so you need to turn it on from Help > About plugins and configure it in preferences.
Among other noteworthy changes, Qt Creator 11 introduces the ability to add files directly to a CMake project, further improves C++ and QML editing, adds an editor that can preview Markdown (.md) files and implements experimental support for a wizard and vcpkgun editor for vcpkg.json files and a package search dialog.
For compatibility with Python, this release adds a new Create Virtual Environment option to the Python interpreter chooser in the editor toolbar and to the wizards at File > New Project > Application (Qt for Python). For Meson support, improve the goals of the file.
The GUI has been improved a bit in this version with a new option in Preferences > Interface > Toolbar Style > Relaxed to make the toolbars slightly larger, and a restructured Problem View to be less intrusive when clicking and navigating.
Several bugs have been fixed in this major release to make Qt Creator more stable and reliable. For details on these bug fixes, see the full changelog .
In the meantime, you can download Qt Creator 11 as a universal binary installer for any GNU/Linux distribution from the official Web site . If you are using Qt Creator 10 or an earlier version, it is recommended to update as soon as possible.
