According to the developers, Clang 6.0 provides full information about the problems in the code and works faster than the built-in model. The user can choose which Clang-Tidy and Clazy checks the platform should perform. If necessary, the plugin can be disabled.

In addition, new Run Test Under Cursor option allows to fast function testing. To do this, the cursor must be inside the function.

Developers have fixed several problems that programmers encountered running Qt Creator under Windows. Improved scanning MSVC compilers, which previously could block the work of the IDE.
