Code::Blocks is a free, open source, and cross platform IDE. It is being developed in C++ using wxWidgets. Using a plugin architecture, its capabilities and features are defined by the provided plugins. Currently, Code::Blocks is oriented towards C/C++.
Until the next release comes out, unofficial nightly binary builds of the development version are being made available by the community. The development version is quite stable and (with the sole exception of the code completion plugin) suitable for production use.
Code::Blocks is being developed under Windows and Linux. Users have successfully built Code::Blocks under FreeBSD and (to date still with some UI problems) under Mac OS X.
