- Troll Tech AS (http://www.troll.no) is proud to announce the release
- of Qt version 1.40.
-
- Qt is a complete and well-designed multi-platform object-oriented
- framework for developing graphical user interface (GUI) applications using
- C++. Qt has seamless integration with OpenGL/Mesa 3D libraries.
-
- Qt is free for development of free software on the X Window System. It
- includes the complete source code for the X version and makefiles for
- Linux, Solaris, SunOS, FreeBSD, OSF/1, Irix, BSD/OS, NetBSD, SCO, HP-UX
- and AIX.
-
- Qt also supports Windows 95 and NT, with native look and feel. Code
- developed for the X version of Qt can be recompiled and run using the
- Windows 95/NT version of Qt, and vice versa.
-
- Qt includes support for building Netscape Plugins for the WWW and
- intranets, using the same source code for a plugin on Windows 95/NT
- and the X Window System.
-
- Qt is currently used in hundreds of software development projects world
- wide. For some examples, see the http://www.troll.no/qtprogs.html.
-
- Qt can be downloaded from http://www.troll.no/dl/ or via anonymous FTP
- from ftp.troll.no.
-
- Qt has excellent documentation: around 500 pages of postscript and fully
- cross-referenced online html documentation. It is available on the web:
- http://www.troll.no/qt/
-
- Qt is easy to learn, with consistent naming across all the classes and a
- 14-chapter on-line tutorial with links into the rest of the documentation.
-
- Qt dramatically cuts down on development time and complexity in writing
- user interface software for the X Window System. It allows the programmer
- to focus directly on the programming task, and not mess around with
- low-level Motif/X11 code.
-
- Qt is fully object-oriented. All widgets and dialogs are C++ objects,
- and, using inheritance, creation of new widgets is easy and natural.
-
- Qt's revolutionary signal/slot mechanism provides true component
- programming. Reusable components can work together without any knowledge
- of each other, and in a type-safe way.
-
- Qt has a very fast paint engine, in some cases ten times faster than other
- toolkits. The X version is based directly on Xlib and uses neither
- Motif nor X Intrinsics.
-
- Qt is available under two different licenses:
- - Professional, for commercial use: see http://www.troll.no/pricing.html
- - Free, for developing free software (X Window System only)
- Note that the toolkit is the same, only the licenses differ.

- single word "subscribe" to qt-interest-request@troll.no.
