Subject: Qt 0.93 for linux (C++ GUI framework)
Date: 1996/01/11
Message-ID: <qt-0.93-announcement@pentagram.troll.no>#1/1

Qt 0.93 has been uploaded to Sunsite, and will probably be available
in /pub/Linux/X11/devel soon. It is already downloadable from
http://www.troll.no/, where you will also find on-line and paper
documentation, screen shots and example programs.
Qt is an object-oriented framework for developing graphical user
interface applications. It includes more than 100 classes, both
GUI-specific and general utility classes, as well as support for
component programming (see http://www.troll.no/intro.html for a brief
overview with links to more detail). Qt is very fast and compact
because it is based directly on Xlib and uses neither Motif or X
Intrinsics. Qt's widgets (user interface objects) emulate the Motif
look and feel and in our opinion improve slightly on it.
The drawing engine in Qt is device independent (the exact same code
works on postscript printers and widgets, for example) and includes
advanced features like rotating text and pixmaps.
The main news in 0.93 is postscript documentation, even faster
drawing, rudimentary networking support, and a step-by-step tutorial
(see http://www.troll.no/qt/tutorial.html).
Qt is free for non-commercial and private/internal use on linux (see
the licence for details, http://www.troll.no/qt/license.html).
Here is a Hello world:
#include <qmsgbox.h>
#include <qapp.h>
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );
return QMessageBox::message( "Attention", "Hello, world!" );
}

0.95 is mostly a bugfix release. The main news since 0.93 is that
there are now man pages for each class in addition to the postcript
and html documentation, and support for drawing transparent multicolor
pixmaps.

NOTE! If you are running Red Hat with gcc 2.7.1 or later, you can
install Qt using just one command:
rpm -i ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt/linux/qt-0.95-2.i386.rpm
NOTE! The version uploaded to sunsite and the rpm mentioned above both
require gcc 2.7.1 or later. You will find .rpm and .tar.gz files
suitable for gcc 2.7.0 at ftp.troll.no. The distinction is necessary
because sizeof(bool) changed in 2.7.1.

Troll Tech is proud to relase a free version of Qt for the X Window
System. This release, Qt 0.97, is free for non-commercial use on all
operating systems that support the X Window System and includes the
complete Qt source code for X.
Qt 0.97 includes clipboard support.
Qt 0.97 includes makefiles for Linux and Solaris. New platforms will be
added in the near future.
Qt is a complete and well-developed object-oriented framework for
developing graphical user interface applications using C++. It has been
used professionally for over a year.
Qt has excellent documentation: 450 pages of postscript and fully
cross-referenced online html documentation. See it 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 X-Windows. It allows the programmer to focus
directly on the programming task, and not mess around with low-level 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
most other toolkits. You have full access to low-level painting
functionality. Painting is device independent, so the same code that draws
on the screen can generate printer output. You can also do arbitrary
clipping, rotation, and scaling - simply and fast.
Qt is very fast and compact because it is based directly on Xlib and uses
neither Motif nor X Intrinsics. Qt's widgets (user interface objects)
emulate the Motif look and feel, with slight improvements.
Qt is available under several licenses:
- for commercial use
- for use with free software (X only)
- for shareware developers (X only)
Note that the toolkit is the same, only the licenses differ.
The Qt GUI toolkit is copyright Troll Tech AS. It is available (at the
time of writing) for Windows 95/NT and several variations of unix (X11
release 5 or later). See http://www.troll.no/ for more availability
information, or fax Troll Tech at +47 22646949.
Qt can be downloaded from http://www.troll.no/dl/ or via anonymous FTP
from ftp.troll.no.
