This section adresses questions by users that were answered by the KDevelop Team or by their supporters on the KDevelop mailinglist during experiences with the current versions of KDevelop as well as bug reporting in general.

14.1. Bug Reporting

Another improvement of KDevelop is the integrated bug-reporting system via email. If you experience a bug, you have the option to send the KDevelop development team a bug report either by your email-client or by the bug-report dialog. All bug-reports are collected on the KDevelop website and can be reviewed on fara3.cs.uni-potsdam.de/~smeier/kdevelop/bugarchive/maillist.html. You can also receive all bug-reports via subscription to the bug-report mailinglist by sending an empty email to kdevelop-bug-report-request@fara3.cs.uni-potsdam.de with "subscribe your_email_adress" as the body contents.

To send bug reports, please use this email adress by your mail program. If you want to use KDevelop for direct bug-reporting, choose "Bug Report" from the "Help" menu. You are presented the report dialog that lets you enter all necessary information about the bug you found. After pressing "OK", the dialog's contents is sent to the mailinglist automatically.
