Does anyone knows whether Bloodshed team is still active? ( http://www.bloodshed.net/ )

There's no real sign-o-life in their website

I've fully switched to Codeblocks instead, same backend compiler, but portable IDE.

It does suffer some similar fate as bloodshed, slow development cycles.. still at RC2 last I check.

I use the nightly builds of Code::Blocks with the MinGW compiler.

Just be warned that thier code completion isn't all it should be - I've actually turned mine off.

Bloodshed C++ also have an annoying exception thrown with thier code completion :( waiting for this fix is my only incentive...

Here's your chance to fix a bug, and get more intimate with your editor :)

Or maybe kick in a $5-$20 donation to the developers, with a note on how you'd love to see that bug fixed.

A little bit of energy from users can go a long way with developers getting interested in their projects again.

Or you could just buy a C++ compiler.

Get over it.
Bloodshed Dev C++ isn't the only free IDE on the internet.



I'm using SmallIde, a very basic Ide that has everything I need
for now

there's nothing wrong with the minGW compiler, its the IDE.

Now that's a great idea

I use Visual Studio 2005 Professional at work and Code::Blocks at home, and I must say that C::B is growing on me. It's a neat little interface with a few problems but it's consistently being improved. Follow the link below to find the latest nightly build. Note the sticky post detailing how to install nightly builds (a very simple procedure).

Give it a chance and I'm sure you'll be plesantly surprised. When is the last time you we able to inform MS of a bug in thier software and have a fix for it the next day?

Code::Blocks nightly builds:

I decided to check C::B while at it...

...phew! I think I struck gold...

In comparison with Dev-C++, C::B is lightyears ahead. I especially liked the Abbreviation feature.

Thats it. I'm a believer. :)
