It's been almost three years since the last official release of the Qt Visual Studio Add-in , but now the Qt developers are coming up with something new: Qt VS Tools. The beta version can be downloaded from Qt Downloads for testing. The package size has been reduced from 200 MB to 7 MB.
In the future, we plan to make Qt VS Tools available from Visual Studio Gallery and installable from Visual Studio 2013 and 2015. Please note that support for older versions of Visual Studio terminated. Before installing, you need to make sure that the old version of the Qt Visual Studio Add-in is removed, as these add-ons do not work well together.
When you start using Qt VS Tools, you will find the Qt New Item and New Project templates in Templates|Visual C++|Qt . You don't need to use any of the items in the wizard called Qt5, as they are Add-in artifacts.
Major changes
- Support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015
- Major code refactoring, build system update and code cleanup
- New wizard system based on the Visual Studio extension system
- Support out of the box Qt C++ debugger with visualization (natvis)
Known Issues
- No QML support
- No support for F1 help
- No localization support
- Support only installed versions of Qt
