Talk:KDevelop5
Outdated info plus old release questions about this page
Hello, this is my first try at contributing here. If I do something wrong, please tell me.
I noticed two things about this page, first: It is for KDEvelop5, while the last release is 6. I do not see any KDEvelop6 page here, so I prefer to ask before the issue I noticed on this page. Second is, so, that this page says to go on Freenode's IRC channel, while now it seems to be on Libera. Since this page is outdated, I guess it's not much important since it would require now a page for KDEvelop6. Right ?
Thanks for your time.

You are right about Libera chat - we no longer use Freenode for IRC. Somehow this page was missed when we updated all those links. I don't know if the developers of KDevelop use IRC, though. Much discussion happen on Matrix now, although Libera chat should be bridged. I have updated the links on the page.
Now, as to KDevelop5/6 it seems, that both versions have been developed in parallel at least until July 2024. However, since KDevelop6 have received more recent updates, my guess is that it is now the recommended version of KDevelop.
The KDevelop documentation is in a sorry state - the official docs are still for KDevelop4, and the UserBase pages for KDevelop5 haven't been touched for a long time, so it seems like a good idea to make new pages for KDevelop6. Feel free to copy anything useful from the existing pages - and feel free to ping me if you need help with anything.
