[Dev-C++] Any uploads that should be made?

[Kim R. <kmr...@co...>]

I am repeating this message since becoming a subscriber to the Dev-cpp-users mailing list.

I am a newbie to Dev-C++, though I have plenty of experience with C++ and Visual C++.

I have installed version 4.9.9.2, and had some success in compiling and executing code.

I notice that the Check for Updates tools gives a very long list of possible downloads, some of which seem to be extensions to Dev-C++ rather than improvements or error corrections.

Are there any particular updates that I should immediately download?  Either error corrections or updates to existing code? 

Thanks.

Note that the original Dev-C++ is quite old and not developed anymore.
There are two projects which continue the development:
http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.com/ (very active)
http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ (has integrated wxWidgets designer, not that active recently)
Also note that it's just an IDE, you can update the compiler itself independently.

One can also look at Codelite (http://codelite.org/) and  CodeBlocks ( codeblocks.org) both are lightweight IDE's 
with bundled compilers.  Both are free and work under windows, linux and probably OSx. I'm using codelite currently.
Questions on the user forums for either get answered quickly and helpfully which is a big plus.
