Notes from the vUDS session:

Ubuntu SDK IDE plans
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdev-1403-ide
Recent features:
- Packaging tab with click validation
- Emulator (armhf), still takes some time to start, but expecting an x86 emulator to be much faster and responsive soon
- Support for Cmake in C++-based apps (with cross-builder support)
- HTML5 template updates and improved support
Upcoming features:
- Qt Creator 3.0
  - Designer tab will be functional - no support for custom components yet, but in the future we'll support SDK components to an extent
  - Qt 5.2-based
  - Cmake plugin fixes
    - click chroot builds
    - cmake runs automatically now
  - Support for multiple frameworks (there will be a prompt when you create a new project)
  - Support for Qt Creator kits (click chroot, emulator)
  - Integration with the Software Store
  - Debug on the device
  - Metric visualization
