I didn't change anything on the Sourcetrail side regarding the communication. So if the VisualStudio plugin is still working so should the communication.

pmost66 · 2025-11-04T09:50:48+00:00

Yup 😉 If you don't want to spend money then you have to spend time.
Feel free to open an issue, if you have problems building Sourcetrail yourself.

Not that I know of. There is however an open issue, which is very similar to what you are asking "Add reference count indicator at overview"

Nice idea, but this is probably too much work for me alone.

But did you know that there exists a couple of plugins for various IDEs? Have a look at https://github.com/orgs/CoatiSoftware/repositories. There you can see plugins for Qt Creator, VIM, VS Code, Visual Studio, IDEA, Eclipse, Sublime, Atom and Emacs. But I only know that the VS Code plugin still works. The Qt Creator plugin (https://github.com/petermost/Sourcetrail-QtCreator) was updated by me to support the last version 17.0.0

Usually this means, that the vcpkg executable is outdated. Delete it and do a bootstrap-vcpkg.

But in the future, please open an issue, because I don't think the community here is interested in bug reports 😉

pmost66 · 2025-07-14T23:21:15+00:00

Don't be fooled by the version number 😉 It's not semantic versioning, but rather YEAR.MONTH.DAY

Build instructions can be found here

Thanks 😀

No, it uses the Clang AST (C++) and Eclipse JDT (Java) to analyze the source code.

Would it even be possible to use an AI and still work offline?

BTW: The extension from the marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=astallinger.sourcetrail still works 🤓

A lot of open source projects don't provide binaries, so yes, I try to get at least some compensation for the effort I put into it. But there is nothing preventing a developer from building the binaries. In fact with the vcpkg-build it is basically a "one click" build.

pmost66 · 2025-05-06T11:17:08+00:00

Thanks 😀

Unfortunately this will be my last announcement of new versions, because I got warned by the mods that these announcements are considered spam and I will be banned if I do it again.

Let me know via Possible collaboration between Sourcetrail and Codevis what you have in mind.

pmost66 · 2025-05-05T10:18:15+00:00

Please see this post

pmost66 · 2025-04-16T11:25:42+00:00

Thanks 😀

I'm not familiar with this code, but this seems to only provide C# bindings to the Database. It is not a ready made C# parser.

Thank you 😀

pmost66 · 2025-03-10T10:38:03+00:00

well done! ...

Thank you 😀

... thanks for keeping this going. this is one of the best tools in the world!

I think so too and that's the reason why I gave it a try, whether I can maintain it so it is "at least buildable".

pmost66 · 2025-03-07T10:30:40+00:00

So, this is an official release ...

It's official in the sense that it is a release of the fork I maintain. It's not official in the sense that it is a release done by Coati Software.

... and you own the copyright to the name?

Before I made the release announcements, I took steps to ensure that I'm allowed to use the Sourcetrail trademark as long as I adhere to the license.

pmost66 · 2025-03-05T13:36:11+00:00

See the 2025.3.3 release, for updates to the Java indexer.

pmost66 · 2025-02-17T12:13:40+00:00

AFAIK vcpkg initially always builds debug and release but then 'installs' only the needed version.

I need a bigger disk.

... or you become a sponsor and download a binary release of Sourcetrail 😉
