Qt: More, More, More (Linux Journal)
Justin Ryan
looks at Nokia's release of Qt 4.6 on Linux Journal.
"Qt 4.6 is packing an impressive variety of new features, from the shiny to the speedy. Graphic effects are among the selling points, including the addition of filtering, drop shadows and glow, as well as the ever-popular opacity. A new Animation Framework is also included, which offers "intuitive state machine functionality."
On the speed side, Nokia claims 4.6 "challenges the conventional development notion that advanced UI capabilities normally come with a significant performance cost." An OpenGL paint engine has been added, as well as OpenVG-based 2D vector graphics, DirectFB support, and Webkit."
