Kate/KDevelop October Sprint: What's new in KDevelop
This is the second part of the article on the joint Kate/KDevelop development sprint that took place in Vienna from the 23rd to 29th of October this year.
If you are interested in some background and what has happened in Kate-land during the sprint, make sure to read the first part of this article [1]. This issue will give an overview over the interesting changes in KDevelop.
Many thanks here once more to the KDE e.V. and the sponsors and donors [2] for funding the development sprint. Special thanks go to Joseph Wenninger [3] for not only organizing the sprint but also funding parts of it. And finally thanks again to Vivid Planet [4] for inviting us to a great dinner.

Unit Test
During the sprint we sat together and did a final review of the work done by Miha to integrate unit test support with KDevelop. Make sure to read his report [5] on the new testing framework.
While most of this work has been done by Miha before the sprint, Niko and Aleix where busy polishing its implementation during the sprint.
