SpeedCrunch Change Log Base: Enhancements in Qt Creator Configuration

As part of its continuous effort to improve, SpeedCrunch has introduced several enhancements to its configuration process in Qt Creator. These changes aim to provide a smoother experience for users when working with various kits and toolchains.

One of the key updates is the ability to select a kit and configure a project easily. This can be done by clicking on 'Configure Project' after selecting a kit from the menu. Users can then open the src/CMakeLists.txt file or a previously opened project directly from the Welcome screen.

Another significant improvement is the validation of project usability with different kits. SpeedCrunch now ensures that projects remain usable even when switching between kits, without any undesired effects.

To take advantage of these enhancements, users need to have a kit using Qt 5.2 or later configured in Creator. They can also checkout SpeedCrunch's source repository from the relevant location.

Additionally, users can open a project and configure it with multiple kits. This allows for greater flexibility when working on different projects that require specific toolchains and debuggers.

When starting Creator with empty settings, users will find that it uses the same kit as in step 1, ensuring consistency across sessions. The new kit creation process also ensures that the Qt version and toolchain used in step 1 are preserved.

Other notable enhancements include the ability to run and build projects successfully using the Locator feature to search for Qt's Classes, and the indexing of projects, making it easier to navigate and find specific files.

In addition, users can now open qtcreator.qbs from Qt Creator's sources and verify that QbsProjectManager is enabled in 'Help' -> 'About Plugins…'. This allows for greater control over project management and configuration.

Finally, SpeedCrunch has also introduced improvements to its Welcome page, making it easier for users to access tutorials and other resources. By selecting a suitable kit and clicking on 'Configure Project', users can now access the Tutorials section directly from the Welcome screen.

Overall, these enhancements aim to provide a more streamlined and efficient experience for users when working with Qt Creator and SpeedCrunch. With improved configuration options and enhanced project management features, developers can focus on their work without worrying about the underlying mechanics of their projects.
