is opened by a symbolic-linked path

* more than 6,500 bugs have been fixed
* more than 1,700 wishes have been fullfilled
* more than 80,000 contributions with several million lines of code and
documentation added or changed
Changes:
* fixed many 3.1.x regressions in project templates
* custommakefiles: don't insert targets twice into the menu, sort
the targets alphabetically (this time it works)
* fixed the bug "the kdevelop3 custom makefile based project files
do not work with cmake out-of-source builds"
* Don't overwrite existing files
* Fix the forkbomb created by KDevAssistant when it was told to use
KDevAssistant to remotely open documentation...
* fix mem leak
* fix amd64 crash
* Perl parser; Don't require a whitespace between function name and
the opening bracket
* make the incremental qlistview search work in the filelist part
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
Changes:
* Simple toolbar classbrowser Alexander Dymo
* New documentation plugin Alexander Dymo
* KDevAssistant application - a standalone API documentation viewer
Alexander Dymo

the deprecated KRegExp.

file name (Don't try to outguess make.)
* Fixed: 75172: Changing projects with unsaved work (Don't set recent
project marker when user cancels project change.)
* Fixed: 75943: Crash during directory scan (Don't crash when we don't have
permission to read a directory.)
* Fixed: 77278: Grep component fails to search with spaces in path
* Fixed: 78776: Crash in CustomProjectPart::populateProject populating new
project

KDevelop now supports over 15 programming languages and numerous version
control systems, debuggers, documentation formats and build tools. Any
Editor supporting the KTextEditor interfaces can be used as native KDevelop
editor, including kate, qEditor and kvim. Build tools like automake, qmake
or ant are supported natively, meaning that KDevelop does not maintain its
own object repository. Changes in the native project files will be
reflected in KDevelop and vice-versa.
The C++ support offers a class view showing all the symbols either flat or
hierarchical by namespaces and allows easy code-navigation. A background
parser updates the symbols on the fly and also shows syntactical errors in
the source code. The code completion even deals with Qt signals and slots.
With its new open architecture, KDevelop can be customized in every
respect. The user interface can be switched on the fly from classic MDI
mode to the modern IDEAl mode, featuring a code-centric approach with
on-demand tool-views.
KDevelop features extensive support for navigating the source code. Symbols
and filenames can be accessed by just typing part of the name, recently
modified files can be reached with a simple keystroke.
