[Qt-creator] Stepping down as maintainer of the CMake plugin of Qt Creator

[Cornelis Bockemühl]

Hi Tobias

Thanks for all you did for the CMake integration into QtCreator: I could 
not live without it! My main projects are all CMake and Qt based, and my 
favorite working environment is QtCreator because it is the same in both 
Windows and Linux.

I downloaded and installed the newest version this morning - no obvious 
flaws so far. Reducing the number of ways to interact sounds like a good 
idea to improve maintainability also by others and avoid "strange 
behaviours" that were in the past often enough causes of trouble. 
Marrying CMake and QtCreator means to bring together two very different 
concepts and ways of working, so for me it's almost a miracle that it is 
working so well right now - with not too many things that you simply 
have to get used to...

So first of all I wish you all the best for your own further developments!

And second I would be happy if some equally competent developer would 
step into your responsibility - because it would be sad if the 
CMake/QtCreator cooperation would eventually fall apart due to neglect...

Best regards,
Cornelis

Thank you all for the the opportunity to work with so many passionate people and the trust to maintain a plugin!

I think this was a major step forward for CMake support in Creator  -- and it removed a lot of code and made things conceptually simpler, so now is a good time to hand over the plugin.
