Qt 5.0 Released

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday December 19, 2012 @05:25AM from the half-of-common-lisp dept.

sfcrazy writes "The Qt project and Digia, the company behind Qt framework, have released the most awaited C++ framework for developers, Qt 5.0. The company claims it's one of the best releases to date and has invested a significant amount of time behind this release. It's an overhaul of the Qt 4.x series and makes Qt fit for the future." Update: 12/19 17:46 GMT by U L : Major new features include an overhauled graphics layer, full integration of Qt Quick for creating flexible interfaces using Javascript, and increased modularization including the first steps toward de-emphasizing QtWidgets by separating them into their own module.

Oh right, this is slashdot.

... hence thousands of non-programmers continue to talk about how superior it is to GTK+
Having done a small amount of Qt programming, it's also one of the most pleasant APIs I've worked with, both in its C++ form and in PyQt.

If you didn't already know what Qt was, then you're probably not going to be particularly interested that version 5.0 is out.

This really is the best cross-platform Apps framework out there. Far better than HTML5/Javascript.

One framework to rule them all, making programs for all platforms, including mobile ones, is a nice goal.
