The Qt Labs blog has announced that support for the pre-NT versions of Windows (i.e. 95, 98 and Me) has been dropped. In particular, support for the old ANSI character sets has been removed in a recent commit to the source code. Those systems have not been supported in any fashion by Microsoft since 2006. (This does not affect the current version of Qt.)

Qt now open for community contributions — Qt -- A cross-platform application and UI framework

Qt Software has published a community repository for Qt at Gitorious: qt.gitorious.org. The repository model is explained on this page; contributions of code, translations, examples and "other related material" are welcome, although they are still subject to Qt Software's technical and legal review before being included in the actual library. Anyone who has been using Gitorious should notice that there have been changes to Gitorious itself, including a new owner and new SSH keys, and their version of Git has been updated to v1.6.1 (see the change notice and FAQ). Some of the updates to Gitorious have been assisted by funding from, and collaboration with, Qt Software (see Qt Labs report).

Also, a final feature release of Qt Jambi has been released; Jambi is being "outsourced" to the community while Qt Software will focus on Qt itself. Qt Jambi v4.5.0_01 can be downloaded from Qt's downloads page and is released under the LGPL.

From Qt Labs: (also see official announcement)

Qt Software have announced that they are porting Qt to the Symbian S60 platform, which in their estimation, opens up some 80 million new devices to Qt applications. Pre-release packages are available here and contain the Core, GUI, Network and Test libraries, and support S60 v3.1 or later, including the new version 5.0. There are open-source and commercial downloads; the former contains libraries in binary, because the free GCCE compiler cannot build Qt. See the announcement for further details and the mailing list. Qt Software are exhibiting at the Symbian Smartphone Show at Earls Court, London, this Tuesday and Wednesday (21st-22nd Oct 2008). The first production release is expected in the 2nd quarter of 2009.

Qt 4.5 to support XSL-T

Frans Englich has announced through Planet KDE that the development branch of XSL-T has been merged into the trunk of Qt, which is expected to form Qt 4.5. It should be available either on the command line or through a C++ API (a short example is given). Version 4.5 should contain a subset, as XSL-T is a large framework (larger than XQuery), and version 4.6 is expected to complement this. The code can be accessed through Qt snapshots. XSL-T is a programming language for transforming XML documents into other types of documents (including other XML formats).
