Hi,

 Today I committed the result of the last week's work to the svn. As 
always the repository module is "branches/work/kdevquanta".
There are some big improvements in this version, I will try to remember 
and list the most important in them:
- a project plugin: this means that it is possible to work with projects 
now. The project format is different from the old one, so it is not 
possible to open your old .webprj file. The new files have .quanta 
extension and are basicly .kdevelop files (XML). The project internally 
works with KURL objects, but the framework does not, so working with 
remote projects is not yet possible.
- a project treeview plugin. It is possible to use with KDevQuanta the 
standard File Tree plugin of KDevelop (which presents the project files 
as well), but ours is more improved. For example it has a quick search 
bar.
- create new project plugin: the port of the old new wizard,  but we 
tried to make it more sane (codewise) and the UI easier to use.
- preview plugin: for internal preview. Now the preview updates itself 
automatically as you type.
- completed and rewritten autocompletion. According to my testings it 
should work just like before.
- group and quick search support added to the structure tree
- the user toolbars now display the icons of the actions
- inserting new files to the project from the treeviews is possible with 
a "quick browser" method (like K menu->Quick browser or the Copy to 
action in Konqueror)
- lots of code cleanup in the common library and the other plugins
- introduced a TODO file with known problems, to-dos

Theoretically you can use any KDevelop plugin with this version (like 
VCS plugins), although the default profile includes only some. Use 
"kdevprofileeditor", select the "quanta" profile and add some new 
properties under "Own properties". After closing this application and 
restarting Quanta, you will see the new plugins automatically loaded or 
you may need them to enable in the Project Options.

I'm wondering if anybody tried this aside of us, but I would be happy if 
I would get some feedback.
As I said earlier to try out you need:
- KDevelop from KDE 3.4 or trunk installed (compilation requirement)
- Quanta 3.4 or trunk (runtime requirement)

Just install the new version to the same directory where your KDE and 
Quanta is and start with "kuanta". It works in parallel with the old 
Quanta.
