Nokia launches Qt 4.6 with support for Symbian, Windows 7 and more
Nokia has just announced the availability of Qt 4.6, the newest version of its cross-platform application and UI framework (formerly developed by Trolltech, which Nokia acquired in 2008).
Qt 4.6 comes with many new features, as well as with support for more platforms: Symbian (4.6 is the first version of Qt to support Symbian), Windows 7, Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard and the yet-to-come Maemo 6. Support for Maemo 5 should come soon, too.
Qt 4.6 also adds support for multi-touch and gestures, and offers new graphical capabilities (including a new Animation Framework and graphics effects like opacity, glow, filtering and drop shadows).
There are also performance improvements, thanks to a re-written Qt GraphicsView rendering algorithm, 2D vector graphic support, a new OpenGL paint engine and new DirectFB support.
Qt Creator (part of the Qt SDK) has been updated as well, to version 1.3.
