Trolltech Introduces Qt Script for Applications, (QSA) Version 1.0

Provides tightly integrated scripting interface for the multiplatform
Qt application framework

07, 02 2003--Oslo, Norway--Trolltech, a leader in multiplatform software 
development tools, today announced that Qt applications are now 
scriptable with the release of Qt Script for Applications (QSA). 
Leveraging the powerful Qt API, QSA takes static Qt/C++ applications, 
and makes them dynamic.

"QSA was designed to tightly integrate with Qt, ensuring that developers 
don't have to worry about binding layers or subset functionality," said 
Eirik Eng, Trolltech president. "All developers need to do is add a few 
lines of code to their Qt applications, and then the apps are enabled 
for scripting and extending."

QSA enables developers to: Prototype changes in already-compiled 
applications; write test scripts; customize applications to individual 
customer's business requirements; script-enable applications so that 
power-users can write sophisticated macros; and provide script-based 
fixes for previously released applications.

The QSA toolkit includes the following components:
- QSA SDK, which allows Qt developers to make their applications 
scriptable.

- Qt Script, an easy-to-learn, multiplatform interpreted scripting 
language. Qt Script is based on the ECMAScript standard, as are 
Microsoft's JScript and Netscape's JavaScript.

- QSA Workbench, a light-weight, simple to use scripting environment. 
QSA Workbench provides the scripter with code formatting, syntax 
highlighting, code completion and stack-trace output.

- Input Dialog Framework, a high-level GUI API that allows scripters to 
write dialogs.
