Qt Creator 11 has been released, bringing several new features and improvements for developers. One of the major highlights is the integration of an integrated Terminal, which supports multiple tabs, various shells, colors, and fonts. This Terminal is used by default for "Run in Terminal" and when opening terminals from other places in Qt Creator. However, developers have the option to opt-out in the preferences.

Another noteworthy addition is the support for GitHub Copilot. Qt Creator now includes the Copilot neovim plugin and a language server that provides suggestions in the code editor. To use this feature, developers need to enable the Qt Creator plugin in the preferences and configure it accordingly. It can also be enabled or disabled on a per-project basis.

Qt Creator 11 also introduces some initial support for the Axivion Suite. By configuring access to the Axivion Dashboard and linking a project to an Axivion project in the project settings, developers can view annotations of the latest run in the editors and access details on the issues.

Additionally, Qt Creator 11 brings improvements to the Qt Examples, with an ongoing initiative to clean up and categorize examples to make them more useful and accessible. Qt 6.5.2 includes a first set of categorized examples, and more will be added in future versions.

These are just a few highlights of the many improvements and fixes in Qt Creator 11. The opensource version is available for download on the Qt website, and commercially licensed packages can be found on the Qt Account Portal. Developers can also update to Qt Creator 11 using the online installer.
