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.

A good example of a bad summary by i+kan+reed · 2012-12-19 05:30 · Score: 0, Redundant

This is like the millionth time that we've had a headline that is "Open source project whose name does not imply function releases new version"
And a summary that is "The version number, which we're happy to tell you, was highly anticipated, but forget any discussion of what the project is".
I know we like open source here, but if the project is anything other than linux, a major distro, or a major programming language, this is awful editting, that repeats over and over. Not even mentioning any new features is inexcusable.
For everyone else: Qt is a library/framework for developing GUI applications.
