KDevelop 3.4/Statistics

From KDevelop

< KDevelop 3.4

Year 2006 was a very productive year for KDevelop team. Since 2004 when we did our best releases (3.0.2 and 3.1) we haven't done anything that impressive. Everything changed in 2006. We spent the whole year working on two things. First is 3.4 - our greatest 3.x release ever and second is what will eventually become 4.0. KDevelop 3.4 (started back in October 2005) is now almost ready (RC2 went public a week ago). And a large number of impressive radical changes went into 4.0 already. New developers joined our team and new users came.

So here are some impressive statistics that prove our success story. http://www.kdevelop.org/3.4/kdevelop_team_stats.png

First notable thing is constantly growing commit count. The highest number of commits per month in 2005 was 95 which is only 42 commits more than the lowest number in 2006. The highest number - 329 (August 2006) remains unprecedented in KDevelop history!

During 3.4 development we've fixed 403 bugs and wishes (this number is still growing so it might be even bigger at the time you read this!). Now KDevelop 3.4 is ready to be released with only 292 bugs. We are also proud that we moved to the middle of the list of top 20 KDE modules with the most bugs! Hopefully even more bugs will be fixed till the 3.4 release date.

In 2006 our developer community was unusually lively! Three newcomers of year 2006 - Andreas Pakulat, David Nolden and Megan Webb occupied the list of KDevelop 3.4/Top 10 Committers. Two affiliates of year 2005 - Jakob Petsovits and Vladimir Prus still have an itch for committing. And our seasoned KDE contributors Matt Rogers and Hamish Rodda are driving 4.0 development.

We are looking forward to see what the next year bring to KDevelop and have the fond hope that 2007 will be even more successful for KDevelop team than 2006 was!

KDevelop Team reminds you to try the latest 3.4 version and wishes you Happy New Year!
