Again the freshly baked: Qt 4.5.2.

Details on the changes in this release is available in the changes-4.5.2 file. As for QtWebKit, some weeks ago I played the patch monkey role and did backport and test a number of critical fixes from WebKit trunk, among others stuff related to canvas, memory access and leaks, rendering painting and performance, JavaScript, plugin handling, clipboard, SVG, and many others. In addition Simon also tackled the backporting of various security fixes.

Overall, 4.5.2 seems to be a solid patch release. An upgrade from 4.5.x is highly recommended.

In a related note, Qt Creator 1.2 was also out. It brings a better fakevim plugin, regex search/replace, and numerous other improvements. Grab it while it's hot.

Fresh from the oven: Qt 4.5.1, Qt Creator 1.1, new SDK.

Details on what has changed can be examined in the changes file. Now that the release is out, the QtWebKit team is busy again fixing bugs and backporting important fixes for the next patch release (4.5.2). Expect to see more extensive changes there. Few QtWebkit-related examples which I have written are also being cleaned-up and imported as new Qt examples, as we speak.

Today (three-three-nine, no conspiracy about the chosen date, please!) Qt Software releases Qt 4.5.0!

There are a number of interesting things about this particular release: lots of performance improvements, simultaneous release of Qt Creator 1.0 which enables the Qt SDK package, LGPL as the new license option, and plenty of new and improved features.

Personally this is an exciting release for me, since it contains some of my work since I joined Qt Software (nee Trolltech). Among others, I did a bit of optimizations for Graphics View, touched the low-level graphics stuff at times where I understood it, and of course - my main task - integrated a lot of WebKit features into the QtWebKit module.

Download Qt 4.5 (or via torrents) while it is fresh. Especially with the SDK package, there is no excuse not to learn C++ and Qt anymore.

PS: can you spot me in the group picture? :-)

code less. create more. with Qt Creator.

Congratulations to the Qt Creator team for the Beta release! In case you live under the rock, Qt Creator is the new-IDE-on-the-block. It is now open source and it has just reached beta, so just download it (Windows, Mac, Linux) or learn more about it. For the braves, check also its shiny new open repository, start git cloning and hack on it!
