Code::Blocks is a free/open source, cross platform IDE. It is developed in C++ using wxWidgets. Using a plugin architecture, its capabilities and features are defined by the provided plugins. Currently, Code::Blocks is oriented towards C/C++.
Code::Blocks is being developed for Windows and Linux. Users have successfully built Code::Blocks under FreeBSD and (to date still with some UI problems) under Mac OS X.
The development releases after May 23rd, 2007 require wxwidgets2.8.
The old branch 1.0 release ended with the stable release 1.0rc2, October 25, 2005. Development releases, which are usually more stable and functional than 1.0rc2 are slowly working toward release 2.0. [citation needed]
