Qt v4.4 released

Qt 4.4 Framework Broadens Rich Application Development with Integration of Web Content and Portability to Mobile Devices — Trolltech

Trolltech has released version 4.4 of Qt, its cross-platform application development toolkit. Major new features include:

  • The new WebKit web page rendering module (the same technology used in Safari and Konqueror)
  • 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

For full details, see What's New in Qt 4.4 (or this page) with a comprehensive changelog here. Open-source downloads (source for X11, source and binaries for Windows and Mac) here. Available under GPL v2 and v3. Also see this feature at Ars Technica.
