Qt 3.1.1 Released

Posted by timothy on from the anointy-nointy dept.

prototype writes "Trolltech has released a maintenance release to Qt bringing the version up to 3.1.1. This release fixes some build issues with the professional edition as well as problems reports on Solaris and HP-UX, changes to build with Borland Kylix and a bunch of other minor updates. This bugfix release maintains both forward and backward compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 3.1.0. The full changelog on the release can be found here. Patches are also available using xdelta 1.1.3 (but not for Mac OS X as size of the the resulting patch is nearly as large as the complete package)."

    This is a significant release, though. What v3.1.1 has over v3.1 is built-in networking ability. :)

    Well, this one is interesting, seeing as they are distributing patches with XDelta, a BINARY patching tool.

    That's right folks, no need to download a multimegabyte binary package or recompile from source, just patch your old binaries.

    Imagine how much faster updates of linux distros would be if the packaging tools supported simply patching instead of downloading updated rpms.
