Hi,
every time I migrate our plugins to a new QtCreator version, I run into
the same issue:
Some concepts have changed and I have no idea how to adopt the plugin.
I must analyse the changes myself.
Latest example: From version 15 to 16 the methods
IOptionsPage::setDisplayCategory and IOptionsPage::setCategoryIconPath
have been removed. It looks like I have to call
IOptionsPage::registerCategory now. But this is totally not obvious to
me.
Could you please write a Plugin Migration Guide and update it with
every version of QtCreator? Document all breaking changes and give a
short help how to fix it. Referencing some source code would be enough
in most cases.
It is really not funny to struggle with one ore more cases like the
above example several times a year...
Regards, Jochen
