New Release of Qt 4.6

NOKIA HAS UPDATED its Qt development framework to work on Symbian and include support for multi-touch and gestures as well boosting its graphics capabilities.

In addition to extending to Symbian, Qt 4.6 also adds Windows 7, Snow Leopard and the upcoming Maemo 6 to the list of supported platforms, although Maemo 5 support is still in the pipeline.

There's also the addition of a new graphics effects like opacity, drop shadows, glow and filtering and support for multi-touch and gestures to enable popular features like flicking and kinetic scrolling.

According to Nokia this all comes with even less of a performance hit thanks to an optimised Qt Graphicsview rendering algorithm and a new OpenGL paint engine.

Also thrown in is new WebKit support and 2D vector graphic support using OpenVG.

"Qt 4.6 marks an exciting time for developers, regardless of their target form factor or platform," said Sebastian Nyström, vice president of Application Services and Frameworks at Nokia.

"Developers can easily create visually appealing and web-connected applications for desktops or devices, including targeting the hundreds of millions of Symbian and Maemo-based devices."

Coinciding with launch of Qt 4.6 is the release of Qt Creator 1.3, the cross-platform Qt development IDE, which jointly form the Qt SDK.
