Qt Creator 4.13 Beta released

We are happy to announce the release of Qt Creator 4.13 Beta!

Here are some excerpts from our  change log:

New Experimental Plugins

Thanks to Alexis Jeandet for initial support for the  Meson build system!

Thanks to IncrediBuild for contributing  their Qt Creator integration!

You need to open Help > About Plugins (or Qt Creator > About Plugins on macOS) and enable these plugins before you can use them.

Editing

We updated LLVM for the C++ code model to LLVM 10, implicitly improving support for C++20 features.

We fixed many smaller issues with the C++ code model.

Our client for the  language server protocol now supports renaming symbols if the server supports it.

The Python code editor now has a tool button and action for opening Python interactively with the current document.

CMake Projects

We removed the internal cache of CMake variables. An existing build directory is now the sole truth about the project. The initial CMake configuration that is passed to fresh builds is set by the user and saved in the Qt Creator project configuration (defaulting to the kit settings). This removes annoying conflicts between what Qt Creator thinks should be right, and existing build directories. Please give this a test and report issues in our  bug tracker, since we expect that there are still some rough edges left :) .

Only CMake version 3.14 and later are directly supported anymore, so CMake versions that support  file-api.

We added the option to pass arguments to "cmake --build" directly, not only arguments to the build tool itself.

Android

You can edit services and splash screen in the manifest editor.

We fixed QML debugging and profiling, and C++ debugging that was failing in some configurations.

Analyzing and Testing

In-editor marks are back for clazy and clang-tidy issues.

We added support for the  Catch2 test framework.
