Trolltech releases Qt 4.4 technology preview

From Trolltech website:

Trolltech has released a technology preview of Qt v4.4, which is expected to be released in March 2008. Major new features include:

  • Integration with WebKit, the Apple open-source XHTML rendering engine based on KDE's KHTML
  • Multimedia framework, based on KDE's Phonon
  • Enhanced XML support, including support for XQuery v1.0 (which includes XPath 2.0)
  • Concurrency framework, which means safer and simpler multi-threading
  • An IPC framework, focussed on shared memory and system locks
  • A new help system, including an Assistant-type framework which can be embedded in any application

Downloads for all platforms are available, under a special evaluation licence, here.

I tried out the snapshot, the integration of Phonon made me curious. Anyway the Phonon examples/demos did not work after installation, reason was, that the plugin directory was not copied properly and thus the GStreamer backend could not be initialized. cp -r plugins/phonon_backend/ /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.0-tp1/plugins/ solved that for me.
