Create applications and test them in an IDE that supports simple or advanced debugging for multiple programming languages like C, C++, and Fortran. All the modules are highly configurable and the base functionality can be extended by using plug-ins without knowing advanced programming language.
Code::Blocks is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to develop several types of C/C++ projects like console applications, DirectX, GTK+, OpenGL, QT and more.
We can see this program as a 'mini' version of Eclipse as the environment layout resembles a lot. Moreover, you will notice an extensive use of KDE-like icons to build the user interface, and good-looking hi-color pictures to decorate the settings dialogs.
One feature that I particularly liked is the auto-detection of the installed on the computer compilers, so we are not forced to use any compiler in special, this is very useful on Linux environments.
And if you don't get enough of the program itself, try the long list of plugins that can be installed! Auto versioning, code snippets, code stats, drag and scroll, and many more.
On Windows systems it is better to download the 'mingw-setup' version (about 9 MB more) that includes a GCC compiler and GDB debugger. Under Linux environments it's more likely that we already have such tools installed, so there is no need to download them.

- Fix issue #358 - Remove additional flags from pkg-config files (thanks Vincent C and Alexander GQ Gerasiov).
- c 11: Use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr (ticket 349 applied partially, thanks David Seifert).
- c 11: Remove our nullptr implementation and some other tr1 classes.
- osx: Fix launching in terminal when the executable path contains characters that need to be escaped (thanks Easior Lars).

- c 11: Code::Blocks now requires a C 11 capable compiler.
- Use more proper types in some places (thanks frithjofh).
- script binding: Log messages with any buffer size (hack, patch by unknown person).
- Do not add a cmd.exe in front of NUL when replacing macros.
- Remove all breakpoint related functions from EditorBase.
- Remove all bookmark functions from EditorBase - they are not needed there, just in cbEditor.
- applied patch to remove and sync macro prefixes (thanks White-Tiger).
- Fix a bug in configmanager.cpp which can lead to undefined behaviour. Wrong combination of std::map::erase and iterators (thanks to frithjofh).
Core / UI.
- Remove ads extension when saving newly created files on wxGTK (ticket #571).
- Fix status bar flickering when scrolling the editors.

- Add update ui processing for the File -> Properties menu item.
- Add 'Enable both' and 'Disable both' menu items in the Options submenu for the files in the project tree.
- Replace the cbMessageBox with AnnoyingDialog shown when there is config write error. This makes it possible to retry the saving of the config file.
- Do not loose changes when clicking twice the same target in ProjectOption dialog (ticket #547, thanks homertp).
