Qt 5 Beta
release is available since August 30, 2012. Final release is expected by
November 2012. It is, of course, an important event for C++ developers and we
can get much more details here:
Being
introduced in Qt 4.7 (September 2010) QML and Qt Quick will play major role in
Qt 5 release. Qt Quick gives us a declarative way of building user interfaces
and it is intended to be used widely for mobile devices. Declarative scripting
language is called QML.
A good
thing is that they say it will be easy to make Qt 4 applications to work on Qt
5, no special efforts will be required for that.
Another
good thing is that more features of current C++ standard (C++ 11) will be supported
in Qt 5. You can read about some of the features here:
A little
bit earlier (August 9, 2012) Digia signed an agreement with Nokia that it is
Digia who is responsible for Qt activities now:
It is
especially interesting that they are planning make Qt available on Android, iOS
and Windows 8 platforms very soon.
Great news, I've been waiting a long time for this one. I just hope they keep the Qt Designer/Qt Gui, their support for OpenGL and provide more for OpenCL (wrapper). Currently it is the best (unique?) cross-platform framework and I wish it remains so.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Concerning OpenGL, support of it is enhanced in version 5 and should offer more features and better performance.
