I looked in the archives and this seems to last have been the case for <br>
KDevelop 3.3.x, released in 2006-ish, or maybe a bit later.<br>

This was &gt; 15 years ago, completely different people working on a quite <br>

<br>
Compared to 4.0 times, the project is now very mature and instead of <br>
fast-paced feature development by a small core team, KDevelop&#39;s progress <br>
is nowadays more a continuous stream of small fixes contributed by a big <br>
crowd. So while releases used to be driven by the motivation of a few to <br>
get new features out when they are done and then quickly follow-up with <br>
stabilization releases, that is no longer the case.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Good answers \
