[Development] Qt 5.0 alpha released

[marius.st...@nokia.com]

Hi,

 

We are happy to announce the Qt 5.0 alpha release. This is the first major Qt release since the Qt Project went live, and a large amount of work and features have gone into this release.

Thanks a lot for all the contributions and feedback, and thanks to all the people who made this happen!

Window desktop components still don't exist but Widgets work just fine
with Qt5 just like in Qt4.

Symbian is no longer supported in Qt5.

They are in the works right?

I'd be surprised greatly if the Next Billion transition platform is no
longer supported in Qt5, surely an announcement mistake?

no mistake, and this is not a new announcement - I'm fairly sure this
was made clear in QtCS 2011 when most of the talks around Qt 5 started
happening. the code was (mostly) stripped out a very long time ago.

this of course doesn't really stop someone trying to add it back
(ditto any other platform...), if they can commit to maintaining it,
but nobody working on v5 at the present time has indicated any desire
to do so as far as I'm aware.

I am fairly certain it's been removed.

The project still exists and is a target for a later Qt 5 release. However, I
have no idea if there has been activity on it for the past few months.

There's no mistake. Your sentence is right and the announcement is right:

- Symbian is not supported
- Qt will be part of the Next Billion strategy

To all of the Qt team:

Congrats on making this first major alpha release! I really look forward to start playing with QML 2 and the neat shader effects.

Sadly no binary release for windows.. i kinda dislike to compile Qt on windows.

Is the beta release going to have a windows binary?

Kind regards,

Mark
