    I know the forums are very much alive, and that I'm relived to see, but is the Bloodshed.net site a dead site?

    I have the latest Beta version offered on the site. Version 4.9.9.2 and it seems to get teh job done while I'm learing C++, but I've noticed that the Bloodshed site is not showing a news/update since Feb 21st, 2005 when it announced the new beta Version 4.9.9.2 and all.

    This makes me wounder if Dev-C++ as an IDE is dead beyond this point. And I actully like this IDE, better then most of the Open Source IDE's I've tried.

    If Bloodshed or Dev-C++ is not dead, could some one point me to where the site is? is there a later version of Dev-C++? it seems like 4.9.9.2 is as new as it gets but just incase I'm gonna ask.

    thank you.

      I remember discussion about making it into C++ but I guess that never happened eh?

        Probably not a trivial task because of the reliance on VCL components.

      I noticed that as well and have the same question. Been some time since I was around last and seem to be a little out of date :P

      Development does indeed seem to have ceased. Being open source you could resuscitate it, but the source being in Delphi is a bit of a turn off for most interested C/C++ developers.

      The derivative wxDevCpp is alive and more functional (http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/). There was once talk of merging the projects, but I do not see the point, just use wxDevCpp.
