Trolltech Releases Qt 4.0

Posted by timothy on from the congratulations-all-around dept.

lypanov writes "Trolltech has released Qt 4.0 both under commercial and GPL licenses for X11, Mac OS X and MS Windows. It is the first time that a MS Windows GPL edition is available. To celebrate the release Trolltech employees have created a song and a music video (Bittorrent download, Ogg Theora version). Read the Qt 4 Overview and the online Qt Reference Documentation for more information. You can download Qt from ftp.trolltech.com or from one of its mirrors. Work on KDE 4 has already started with making a development branch of KDE compile and run with Qt 4."

    Trolltech sounds so...dubious. I mean, when I think of Trolltech, I think of spyware. Hell, anything that is profession with the name "Troll" rubs me the wrong way.

    I can imagine their future... "The current stock value of Trolltech rose to 300 dollars a share..."

      They're from Norway, dude. Anything with 'Troll' in it is popular there. They even named one of their biggest oil-fields "Troll".

      So since Norwegians like trolls, obviously they don't call annoying people on the internet 'trolls'. They usually call them 'americans'.

    I just had two stories disappear on me... one about amazon patenting user/browser histories and some other goof-off story..

    I'm going to infer that because you read the Amazon patent story, and subsequently read a goof-off story, you might be interested in reading El Reg?

    And yet, even with that great mystical sign from above, you refused to spare us the agony. Why, oh aixou, do you torture us so?

    Oh please. My ego is not as large as you think. It only occupies 85% of the known Universe (scientists keep calling it "dark matter" and "dark energy" to annoy me).
