Is the project dead?
Yes, it's dead.
It takes a massive amount of effort just to keep up with the changes to the language and build system Microsoft is doing, probably at least 2 man-years to catch up to C# 7 / the .NET Core stuff. That's a bit too much for a hobby project -- we don't have that kind of free time anymore, and even if we did, there are better ways to spend it than playing catch-up with a huge dev team at Microsoft.
Combine that with the free community edition, and there's little space for multiple open-source C# IDEs. Remember that MonoDevelop is still around; and that VS Code is also open-source! Start with one of those if you need a portable IDE.
With Visual Studio Community you have all the necesary to start working, I also thing that is more than the essencial, I use SharpeDevelop when Visual Studio was closed to the comunity and Sharp Develop help me so much so thank to the team of SharDevelop, Thanks for all your effort hope to see some new projects from you.
Yeah vs community is great, is almost perfect, but it isn't low weight as SD (45mb), it isn't portable and it isn't fast as SD for old PC... I loved use SD in my old laptop or at school thanks to the fact that it can run via usb.
Anyway i will accept the decision of the developers and i hope they can get the best from their next projects, they have gifted me many hours of fun during the years! Thanks to all of them <3
@dgrunwald If the project is dead, would you possibly consider putting a note indicating such in a prominent location on this repo or the project's homepage?
Many people including myself like what you (I assume you) have created, but if the project has no life and no future, it would be greatly appreciated if that was formally communicated up-front so people don't waste their time.
Thanks for your consideration.
If it wasn't for SharpDevelop my company would have never been able to happen, literally!! In the early '00s, there was no better open solution for a startup. It spun off the fork, MonoDevelop, and brought so much to the community. Please don't give up hope. I was really looking forward to the continuous efforts on SharpReports. Once again, an amazing open utility with potential.
All you folks on the #develop team have and had some amazing visions. don't ever give that up.
@subchannel13, not here to argue history but double-check your dates.
.NET 1.0 official released February 13, 2002 (the early 2000s). C# 2.0 released, 2006 (mid-2000s). These guys helped open the door to better IDEs and forerunners of open source for .NET. Which in-turn Mono Develop was based on SharpDevelop to bring it to Linux - also branded as, Visual Studio for Mac.

@fretelweb : Visual Studio Community is f**** slow compare to SharpDevelop :'(
So sad, SD is my favorite C# IDE, it is faster than VS, I hope someday the project continues, but thanks guys for this awesome work.
Guys, are you serious? It doesn't matter if VS starts in 10 more seconds or takes 0.5 sec more time for loading some file until it's way way more productive, due to plugins/ecosystem/newer language versions/support/younameit. Don't be so greedy, it doesn't worth it.
Is there possible to replace SharpDevelop with Visual Studio Code with C# plugins to support legacy non Core (.NET 4.6) projects? Both Intellisense, refactoring and build should be supported.
SharpDevelop itself is buggy.
The only kill feature is their license.
I'd like to extend a special thank you to the team who produced this product. As a hobby developer it has been invaluable for experimenting with code. Given that the latest version has only 3000 downloads and will take two years to catch up then I can understand to understand why is is deprecated.
Currently I'm having a problem with a debug error appearing when I try to "Add Resource". I suspect it is to do with the latest Windows updates. So I am forced to move to the Community edition of Visual Studio.
But once again thanks. I have truly enjoyed using SharpDevelop. Your contribution to the Open Source community has been invaluable.

If you are talking about the license of VS community editions, check out the express edition, there's even a 2017 one, only for desktop development tho.
well it's sad to see it go, but your point is undeniable. Even today I still make use of it. I love the code conversion feature. I think the only way you could have kept it attractive would have been to continue with features not found in VS. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for a great free product.
Alguien sabe si estan haciendo un fork de SharpDevelop, soy aficionado a la programación y el código fuente de SD esta complicadísimo.
I have updated the project. https://github.com/gyoom/SharpDevelop/blob/master/README.md Net framework support: 2.0-4.8 Early Access

In my case the company's built in antivirus Symantec always kills my C# built binaries thus stops me from using Visual Studio Community. While SharpDevelop works well. It's why I use SharpDevelop.
I think the reason for that is because Visual Studio replaces the executable instead of deleting it. Thus the executable has changed. Executables aren't supposed to change according to heuristics.

I am the last to suggest Microsoft, but if you really want to use it. You can keep an explorer window open to the build folder, and delete the exe before building again. I had this issue years ago with VS6 and my antivirus. That was my work around.

@gyoom, thank you very much indeed for reviving the project. So far it's working very well! I am using Win7 Pro 64-bit.
Thank you guys, for SharpDevelop. I have used it and seen it saving startups. (y)
In the past - I had come across SharpDevelop many times, but I was using Visual Studio and was quite content. Now - I was using the bloated, system demanding, daily updating Visual Studio (you'd think they would get a version that would work), and now I'm using SharpDevelop.
During one of the many updates, that MS is always issuing for VS 2017, the system picked up a Trojan Horse! This was picked up during a software initiated update. No, it was not a false positive. Virus Detection
Well, that was the final straw! I uninstalled VS2017, got the system cleaned up, and installed SharpDevelop.
I love SharpDevelop! It's compact, fast, and easy to use.
Thanks Guys, for a Wonderful IDE! Thank You, @gyoom!
Thank you @gyoom for bringing this fantastic software back to life. But I found that only version 5 of C# is available. How can I use C# version 6 or 7? Thanks in advance.
@Bedrou The next thing will be,but I just preparing for the exams. Sorry, but I do not speak English well.
