    Qt Creator 2.5.1 released


    Qt Creator 2.5.1 released. It is a pure bugfix release which mends some of the more serious issues in the 2.5.0 release, including
    • fix in Qt for text editor font rendering on Mac, which would lead to incomplete rendering updates when not using the standard font
      (if you build Qt Creator yourself you’ll want to either use the Qt 4.8 branch or cherry-pick 5ac8e6ef178678f500668d67fe38d149f0821029)
    • fix for C++ template class completion issues
    • various other fixes
    See the changelog for more details.
