Oslo, Norway, 30 June - 2006 -
Trolltech® today announced the release of a technology preview of Qt® 4.2 – the upcoming new version of its leading framework for high performance cross-platform application development – to its commercial and open source developer community for feedback. The final release of Qt 4.2 is currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2006.
In addition to a significant number of improvements and performance optimizations, the technology preview unveils a wide range of new features for initial testing, including:
Graphics View – A powerful 2D graphics area for highly optimized graphics development. Graphics View replaces and builds on the former Q3Canvas, adding significant new functionality in the areas of item interaction, optimized level-of-detail rendering, affine item transformations, enhanced control over animations and enhanced drag and drop features.
Desktop Services – A new group of features that provide consistent, user-preference-aware methods for accessing common desktop services, enabling tasks such as opening a web page, file, folder or e-mail composer to be initiated from the desktop.
