Qt 1.2 released (C++ GUI framework)
in...@troll.no
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Troll Tech AS (http://www.troll.no) is proud to release Qt version 1.2
(see LSM at the end of this posting).
Qt is a complete and well-designed multi-platform object-oriented
framework for developing graphical user interface (GUI) applications using
C++.
Qt 1.2 supports seamless integration with OpenGL/Mesa 3D graphics
libraries.
Qt is free for development of free software on the X Window System. It
includes the complete source code for the X version and makefiles for
Linux, Solaris, SunOS, FreeBSD, OSF/1, Irix, BSD/OS, NetBSD, SCO, HP-UX
and AIX.
Qt also supports Windows 95 and NT, with native look and feel. Code
developed for the X version of Qt can be recompiled and run using the
Windows 95/NT version of Qt, and vice versa.
Qt is currently used in hundreds of software development projects world
wide. For some examples, see http://www.troll.no/qtprogs/
Qt can be downloaded from http://www.troll.no/dl/ or via anonymous FTP
from ftp.troll.no. It is available in both RPM and tar.gz format.
Qt has excellent documentation: around 500 pages of postscript and fully
cross-referenced online html documentation. It is available on the web:
http://www.troll.no/qt/
Qt is easy to learn, with consistent naming across all the classes and a
14-chapter on-line tutorial with links into the rest of the documentation.
Qt dramatically cuts down on development time and complexity in writing
user interface software for the X Window System. It allows the programmer
to focus directly on the programming task, and not mess around with
low-level Motif/X11 code.
Qt is fully object-oriented. All widgets and dialogs are C++ objects,
and, using inheritance, creation of new widgets is easy and natural.
Qt's revolutionary signal/slot mechanism provides true component
programming. Reusable components can work together without any knowledge
of each other, and in a type-safe way.
Qt has a very fast paint engine, in some cases ten times faster than other
toolkits. The X version is based directly on Xlib and uses neither
Motif nor X Intrinsics.
Qt is available under two different licenses:
- Professional, for commercial use: see http://www.troll.no/pricing.html
- Free, for developing free software (X Window System only)
Note that the toolkit is the same, only the licenses differ.
