- Qt for Windows CE (Qtopia Core has been renamed Qt for Embedded Linux)
- Multimedia framework based on Phonon (from KDE)
- Ability to draw widgets on graphics views
- A new concurrency framework, allowing easier multi-threaded application development
- Support for XQuery in a separate Xml Patterns module
- A redesign for Qt Assistant, with a self-contained help format
- Improvements to the printing system, with a new QPrinterInfo class allowing encapsulation of printer specs and a print preview class
