Yours, -- martin ========================================================================= From: Warwick Allison TROLL TECH ANNOUNCES NEW Qt BETA RELEASE Troll Tech AS today announced that pre-releases of the next major version of Qt, version 2.0, are now accessible to software developers around the world. This new version of Qt, the popular cross-platform Graphical User Interface toolkit for application development, is extended with many new features. For easy internationalization of Qt-based applications, support has been added for Unicode international character sets and message translation. To allow seamless integration in any graphical environment, the new version provides adaptable look-and-feel with sample styles including the Platinum look. The new version also includes many small improvements such as support for the "wheel mouse", and is faster, smoother and more memory-efficient than earlier Qt versions. The new Qt version is currently in beta testing state. The pre-release versions, known as Qt 2.0-beta, give developers the chance to try the hundreds of new features and provide critical comment to help the final Qt 2.0 release meet all the expectations and requirements of both commercial and free software developers. Developers seeking access to the pre-release versions can register for free, online at the Troll Tech web site - see http://www.troll.no/dl/qtfree-cvs.cgi The electronic distribution system used to provide access to the Qt 2.0 beta releases is CVS, the widely-used version control software. This arrangement will allow developers to easily upgrade to the latest pre-release version of Qt as it is fine-tuned. The Qt beta releases are available to both Qt Professional Edition and Qt Free Edition users. Qt Professional Edition owners will receive free upgrade to the final Qt 2.0 version when it is released.
