GAMS Studio is a completely new integrated development environment for GAMS, which is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It is based on C++ and Qt.

Motivation

The classic GAMS IDE has been shipped with the GAMS system for the last 20 years and is still the workhorse for many GAMS programmers. However, the existing IDE does not provide all the features we see in modern development environments. Due to its underlying software technology, implementing new features in the current IDE turned out to be a poor option, so work on a new development environment started from scratch. GAMS Studio is based on C++ and Qt, which makes it fast, reliable, and platform independent (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux).
