Qt Creator 4.13 RC Released With Initial Meson Integration, Updated C++ Code Model

The Qt Company today issued the first release candidate of their forthcoming Qt Creator 4.13 integrated development environment as well as a beta of their Qt Design Studio 1.6.

Qt Creator 4.13 has been working on initial support for the Meson build system for projects, at long last and to complement the other build systems already supported by Qt Creator. There is also initial IncrediBuild Qt Creator integration too with this release. Qt Creator 4.13 has also been updating its C++ code model against LLVM 10 to improve its C++20 features support, improvements to its Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation, Python support improvements, support for the Catch2 test framework, and other changes to improve the development and debugging experience with this Qt/C++ focused IDE.
