Qt 5 Alpha Released

After nine months of effort, Nokia's Qt Lab has announced the availability of the alpha release of Qt 5. Goals achieved for this release include a new platform abstraction layer, a re-architected graphics stack, and the inclusion of Qt Quick as a first-class citizen (hitting version 2.0, and using Google's V8 Javascript engine to boot). Quoting Lars Knoll: "'Qt 5 should be the foundation for a new way of developing applications. While offering all of the power of native Qt using C++, the focus should shift to a model, where C++ is mainly used to implement modular backend functionality for Qt Quick.' I can say that we came a good way closer to this vision with Qt 5.0. The model is working nicely on the embedded side of Qt where UIs are full screen. On the desktop, we have laid most of the foundations required for this model, but it’ll take us until 5.1 or 5.2 to really take this into use." Nokia has posted the the source and detailed release notes on the Qt wiki.

    Its so simply its probably beyond you.

    Take any program created with a QT interface and try to automate it with Autoit.
    I don't have to say anything when you can try it out for yourself, see it for yourself, and then you can write the words to describe it.

    But can you show your intelligence of yourself and match up the fictional wish list of the Nebuchadnezzar crew killings with the action constants that in reality cannot be killed off?

    What is programming but writing a word = definition in one form or another?

    And everyone does it. So why the false constraints?
