Digia Releases Qt 5.1 With Preliminary Support For Android and iOS

Posted by timothy on from the file-formats-matter-more-than-os dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Finnish software and services firm Digia, which bought Qt from Nokia back in August, has released version 5.1 of the cross-platform application framework. Among the changes are 'significant improvements' to Qt Quick and preliminary support for Android and iOS. The latter means Qt on Android and iOS are both considered Technology Previews, letting developers start building for the two mobile operating systems and porting apps from other platforms by reusing the same code base. Although most of the Qt functionality and tool integration is already in place to start developing mobile apps, Digia promises complete ports to Android and iOS will come with the release of Qt 5.2 'later this year.'"

    You should read your signature.

    In what ways is Qt massively flawed? You claim those of us unaware of them are green, but then you say absolutely nothing to enlighten us.
