The last update to Dev-C++ from Bloodshed Software was made in 2005. However, in June 2011 Dev-C++ was forked by [http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.be/ Orwell] to continue its development and has since that time fixed several bugs and added new features.

There is also [http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ wxDev-C++], a Dev-C++ fork specifically targetted at users developing with the wxWidgets framework.
