It is already ported to Qt 3.0, but a dependency on QMultiLineEdit 
exists, but it correctly uses QtMultiLineEdit (Compile into TOra, 
doesn't have to be in Qt). However there is a bug in Qt 3.0.0 for 
fontmetrics that makes it pretty unusable with Qt 3.0.0, this is 
supposed to be fixed for the next Qt 3.0.1 release.

If I have a choice I would prefer to make stable snapshots available and 
commit to the KDE CVS and be able to make more releases than KDE 
normally does. I have sort of a tradition on making development releases 
every two weeks and stable releases about once every 4 months. I will 
make every effort to coordinate the releases with KDE from the moment it 
is included in it. However I'm going to make a stable release in a 
couple of days and I don't think I can make the 3.0 release with my next 
stable release which should be the first one really good enough for KDE 
since it will be the first release with really comprehensive support for 
other databases than Oracle, also the program currently doesn't use 
autoconf which I'm guessing I would have to fix to be able to include it 
into KDE (It still has a configure that works in a similar way, I just 
really hate auto conf scripts). Also the QSql interface isn't nearly 
sufficiently advanced to be used by TOra for it's database although I 
can make a wrapper for QSql that will give basic support for all QSql 
supported datbases, but TOra also features several advanced features 
like PL/SQL debugging for instance that can't really be handled using QSql.
