Trolltech Releases Qt 3.3.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 4, 2004 Qt 3.3 Supports New Technologies Such as the .NET Framework, 64-bit Processing, and IPv6 -- Complementing Existing Features and Solutions to Make Qt "Future-Proof" Trolltech(R), the leader in multiplatform development frameworks, today announced the availability of Qt(R) 3.3. With the release of version 3.3, Qt gains support for a variety of new technologies, including Microsoft(TM) .NET platform, 64-bit processing, and IPv6. In addition, Qt 3.3 adds support for the GNU C (language) GNU C - The extension of C compiled by gcc. ++ compiler on Windows (MinGW gcc). This makes it even easier to build multiplatform applications, as developers can use the same API -- Qt -- and the same compiler -- gcc -- on Unix, Linux, Mac, and Windows. Application developers can now access the power and performance of Qt and enjoy the unique freedom to develop on their OS of choice, while taking advantage of these new technologies. And because Qt applications share the same code base, a simple recompile To compile a program again. A program is recompiled after a change has been made to it in order to test and run the revised version. Programs are recompiled many times during the course of development and maintenance. See compile. is all it takes to follow the platform demands of the market place. Qt already provides solutions such as SOAP support, automatic GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. dialog conversion and support for migrating legacy MFC-based applications to Qt, allowing MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) An application framework for writing Microsoft C/C++ and Visual C++ applications. See application framework. MFC - Microsoft Foundation Class and Qt code to co-exist during the porting process. In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke" put differently , existing solutions and the latest Qt 3.3 release represents an unrivalled technology solution. "Our core design goal is to make life easier for software developers, no matter which operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. they want to use," said Eirik Chambe-Eng, president of Trolltech. "By incorporating support for these new technologies, not only are we giving Qt developers the same robust performance and elegant API they are used to, but also ensuring their applications are available on the platforms the market demands." New Qt 3.3 features include: Qt-based applications can now both live inside, and coexist with, the .NET framework. Developers can either have Qt-based applications interoperate with .NET via ActiveX, or use a manual approach using Microsoft's managed extensions for C++. Both approaches allow developers to use the Qt toolkit while still ensuring their applications are .NET enabled. 64-bit processing support included in 3.3 enables superior performance for large amounts of data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a in areas such as advanced visualization in Qt-based applications. Qt applications built with 3.3 can now transparently support secure Internet Protocols Refers to all the standards that keep the Internet running. The foundation protocol is TCP/IP, which provides the basic communications mechanism as well as ways to copy files (FTP) and send e-mail (SMTP). v4 and v6, ensuring that Qt is a safe bet for the development of Internet-aware applications.

Qt Script for Applications Qt Script for Applications (QSA) is scripting engine, addon to Qt toolkit. The scripting language is based on ECMAScript standard. The library contains the engine, simple script editor and two extension frameworks to create simple dialogs, read and write files and execute In addition, Qt Script for Applications (QSA QSA Queensland Studies Authority (Australia) QSA Signal Strength (S1 to S9) QSA Quality System Assessment QSA Queens of the Stone Age (rock band) ) 1.1 has been released. QSA is Trolltech's add-on scripting toolkit for Qt-based applications. Several new features have been added, including: A utility framework, an extension library for giving scripters file access and shell execution possibilities, script project handling, and other useful classes making scripting even more powerful. Availability: Qt 3.3 and QSA 1.1 are free of charge to open-source developers on Mac OS X and X11-based platforms.
