Qt 5
Qt 5.0 has been released. Check out the "Qt 5 landing page":http://qt.io/qt5.
Mission of release
Qt 5.0 will be the foundation for a new way of developing applications, where Qt Quick is in the center of Qt. Qt 5 continues to offer all of the power of native Qt C++, and we don't want Qt 5 to be disruptive for existing code developed for Qt 4.
Qt 5 enables highly sophisticated user experiences, offering applications the full capabilities of OpenGL/OpenGL ES graphics acceleration. In this respect, Qt 5.0 is a feature-driven release with time-to-market requirements especially for embedded environments. This implies that we should keep the scope of Qt 5.0 limited to the essential, and add more features and add-on modules in the upcoming minor releases.
Releases
- Alpha released on April 3, 2012.
- Beta released on August 30, 2012.
- Beta 2 released on November 13, 2012.
- Final released on December 19, 2012.
Maintenance releases expected to come in a regular 6 month cycle and the content for those will be planned in detail after the final release.
Platforms
Supported platforms for Qt 5 release are Windows, Linux, and OS X.
Specifically we are targeting to have the following platform configurations as reference platforms for Qt 5.0:
| Platform | Configuration | Compilers | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| linux-x86-32-gcc-x11 | Ubuntu Linux 11.10 x86 32 bit, X11 | as provided | |
| linux-x86-64-gcc-x11 | Ubuntu Linux 11.10 x86 64-bit, X11 | as provided | |
| windows-7-32-msvc2010-angle | Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit | MSVC 2010 SP1 32-bit | ANGLE is used. |
| osx-10.7-64 | Apple OS X 10.7 "Lion" Cocoa 64-bit | as provided by Apple |
In addition to the reference platform configurations, we would like to support the following configurations on Tier 1 level.
| Platform | Configuration | Compilers | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| windows-7-64-msvc2010-angle | Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit, ANGLE | MSVC 2010 SP1 64-bit | |
| windows-7-32-msvc2010-opengl | Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit, OpenGL | MSVC 2010 SP1 32-bit | |
| windows-7-64-msvc2010-opengl | Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit, OpenGL | MSVC 2010 SP1 64-bit | |
| windows-7-32-mingw-builds | Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit | gcc 4.7 (MinGW-builds) | |
| windows-xp-32-msvc2008 | Microsoft Windows XP SP3 32-bit | MSVC 2008 32-bit | |
| osx-10.6-64 | Apple Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" Cocoa 64 bit | as provided |
Other platforms might be supported, but probably do not get the same level of testing.
