September 10, 2009 at 21:54Announcement of Qt 4.6
On September 9 this year, our beloved company, developing one of the best tools for creating graphic applications, presented to the public the announcement of a new version: 4.6 . What's new? And here is what:
So, what do these improvements mean:
1. The ability to create a more impressive interface. Shadows, glow, transparency, full support for animations, etc. now available thanks to built-in Qt tools. Well, what can I say, I can’t wait to try something like that using this opportunity. If someone shows these innovations in action, we will be very grateful. Thank Mezomish Mezomish
2. Port for OS Symbian. In addition to the fact that now this port belongs to the main Qt code, the developers have achieved the normal operation of the QtScript and QtWebkit modules.Unfortunately, I am poorly versed in this topic, so the only thing I could do was translate the text from English, I apologize. More details .
3. Improving performance. The developers rewrote the Qt Graphics View rendering algorithm, optimized resource consumption, created a new OpenGL engine for rendering 3D graphics, and expanded integration with QtWebKit. In almost every version, our greenish friends optimize something, which may not please. This time, optimization touched mainly graphics and WebKit. You can’t just invent something new with each version - you need to improve the old. After all, it is the "old" that the majority uses.
