General
* Added support for running user defined external tools (Tools->External)
* Moved toolchain definitions out of Qt versions.
* You can now define toolchains in Tools->Options->ToolChains
* Creator now supports more than one instance of each kind of toolchain
* Support for MIME type customization through editing of patterns and

* Qt Creator now supports more than one instance of a tool chain
* Add support for customizing MIME types by editing patterns and
magic headers
* Integrate the memcheck tool from Valgrind for Linux and Mac OS X
* Create the infrastructure to set up "soft dependencies" between plugins
* Add the qtpromaker tool that has the same functionality as
"qmake -project", but is much faster. It provides a way to easily set up
dummy .pro files that you need to quickly inspect and navigate "alien"
codebases with Qt Creator
* Document Qt Creator coding style
Editing
* Add new Inkpot color scheme
* Moved 'Open in External Editor' to Tools->External->Text

* Snippet editor with syntax highlighting, indentation, and basic auto
completion for C++ and QML.

Project Support
* QMake project support should be more robust against syntax errors
* Treatment of command line arguments of processes started from build
and run configurations underwent heavy modifications:
- argument lists use native shell syntax; this affects quoting and
Managing Projects
* Improve the robustness of qmake project support against syntax errors
* Change the handling of command line arguments of processes that are
started from build and run configurations:
- Argument lists use native shell syntax; this affects quoting and
environment variable expansion most

with %{sourceDir} and %{buildDir} macros
- this affects working directories and executable paths as well
* CMake: Add Ui completion, changes in .ui files are picked up without
a rebuild.
* Syntax highlighting and completion for QMake project files
* Text editor behavior settings now avaiable on a per-project basis.
