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.
 
Qt is a trademark of Troll Tech AS.
