Qt 4.8.0 Released

jrepin duly notes the release of Qt 4.8.0, and extracts from the announcement some of the key changes for developers: "Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA) restructures the GUI stack to enable easier porting of Qt to different windowing systems and devices. Threaded OpenGL enables us to render OpenGL from more than one thread concurrently. HTTP requests are now handled in a separate thread by default. The file system stack received some heavy lifting under the hood. The result is better I/O performance."

QT Creator

[mutherhacker]

QT? Who cares!!! I'm peeing in my pants from the excitement about the new Qt-Creator!! :) I've never gotten excited so much about an IDE before :)

Seems like printing w/ CUPS is still not fixed...

[omuls are tasty]

I was hoping that they might finally get a fix in for this bug [nokia.com] (and the likes thereof), which has been making printing under KDE a pain in the butt [kde.org] for the last couple of years (the 4th most hated KDE bug out there) - but nobody seems to care, even tho a patch is available. Nice going with that community process... sigh.
