Choosing between 32bit and 64bit

• The 64bit compiler will fully work op 32bit computers.
• The 64bit compiler can do everything the 32bit compiler can, including creating 32bit executables.
• The 64bit compiler can do stuff the 32bit compiler can't, like creating 64bit executables. It also comes with a lot more headers and libraries.
• There is no single reason to download the 32bit version except for maybe file size, marginally longer compiling time, or in case you have to use that specific compiler for any reason (regression problems for example).

Compiling for 32bit using TDM-GCC x64

• To force 32bit on all new projects and non-project compiles, go to Tools >> Compiler Options and select the 'TDM-GCC 32bit' profile. This profile will use the -m32 flag and use lib32 by default.
• To force 32bit on already created projects, go to Project >> Project Options >> Compiler and select the 'TDM-GCC 32bit' compiler profile.

Note on the portable version

• Always launch Dev-C++ using devcppPortable.exe located in the installation folder of the portable version. This launcher will tell Dev-C++ to save its configuration files in its own folder.

• This version has GCC built-in instead of being an aditional package. It also contains, among others, D3D9/10/11, GDI, Win32 and OpenGL headers and libraries in that flavor.
• For ultimate portable programming, please launch devcppPortable.exe located in the installation folder of the portable version. This launcher will tell Dev-C++ to save its configuration files in the same folder as the executable.
• If you're getting 'Unsupported compression method' errors when extracting the portable version, please update your archiving program. The archive uses LMZA2 compression, which was added to WinRAR 3.91 and 7zip 9.04 somwhere in 2009. The latter is just as free as Dev-C++, so nothing is holding you back to extract it.

Choosing between 32bit and 64bit

• The 64bit compiler will also run op 32bit computers. Not problem at all.
• The 64bit compiler can do everything the 32bit compiler can, including creating standard 32bit executables.
• The 64bit compiler can do stuff the 32bit compiler can't, like creating 64bit executables. It also comes with a lot more headers and libraries.
• There is no single reason to download the 32bit version except for maybe file size, marginally longer compiling time, or in case you have to use that specific compiler for any reason (regression problems for example).

Compiling for 32bit using TDM-GCC x64

• To force 32bit on all new projects and non-project compiles, go to Tools >> Compiler Options and select the 'TDM-GCC 32bit' profile. This profile will pass -m32 and use lib32 by default.
• To force 32bit on already created projects, go to Project >> Project Options >> Compiler and select the 'TDM-GCC 32bit' compiler profile.

Dev-C++ 5.3.0.1 released

Changes - Version 5.3.0.1 - 2 Oktober 2012

• Searching is now done forward instead of backward by default
• Search history is remembered while Dev-C++ is opened instead of while the find window is opened.
• Fixed a bug in CPU window that causes Dev-C++ to consume an infinite amount of memory
• Dev-C++ now checks if there are any compilers installed before attempting to use them, avoiding crashes.
• One can now view project information like total lines in the File Properties window.
• Rewritten the code that reads profiling output, drastically reducing flicker.
• One can now use copy in the file properties form.

Dev-C++ 5.3.0.0 released

This time, the major improvements are the new debugger interface and the new find window, no doubt. Apart from that, typing in the editor is much more smooth now.

Changes - Version 5.3.0.0 - 30 September 2012

• Completely rewritten the debugger interface.
• Completely rewritten the find/replace form.
• Improved some internal (compiler) data structures, reducing memory usage and potentially improving stability by simplifying code.
• Improved startup speed, splashscreen is hidden (not even loaded) when startup times are estimated to be very low.
• Fixed nearly all the memory leaks.
• Indent guides are now painted faster, reducing flicker.
• Code completion is now more clear and pops up faster.
• Color selectors in Editor Options now properly set their own defaults, not those of other controls.
• Automatic symbol completion and indentation is much faster now.
• Added OpenMP libraries and tools to TDM-GCC x64.
• Code folding is updated much faster now.
• The code parser now understands multiple definitions after the } symbol of structs.
• Much more performance enhancements in the typing/editing department.
• Dev-C++ now autodetects compiler versions (using gcc -v) automatically on first startup, instead of assuming versions it shipped with.
• One can now use Cut/Copy/Paste/... in the find form, incremental search form, CPU form and debug interfaces.
• Compilers can now be downloaded separately from the SourceForge repository. They will be autodetected at first launch when put next to devcpp.exe.
• Updated Japanese, Chinese, English and Portuguese translations.
• Fixed loads of bugs.
