\title Platform Notes - Symbian
\contentspage Platform Notes
+ \ingroup platform-specific
+ \brief Information about the state of support for the Symbian platform.
- This page contains information about the Symbian platforms Qt is currently known
- to run on. More information about the combinations of platforms and compilers
- supported by Qt can be found on the \l{Supported Platforms} page.
+ As with any port, the maturity for Qt for Symbian has not yet reached the
+ same level as other established Qt ports. This page documents the current
+ notes for the Symbian port.
+
+ \section1 Source Compatibility
+
+ Qt for Symbian provides the same level of source compatibility guarantee as
+ given for other platforms.  That is, a program which compiles against a given
+ version of Qt for Symbian will also compile against all future versions of the
+ same major release.
+
+ \section1 Binary Compatibility
+
+ As with every supported platform, we will strive to maintain
+ application behavior and binary compatibility throughout the lifetime of
+ the Qt 4.x series. However, due to the fact that Symbian support is newly
+ added in 4.6.0, there is a slight possibility that minor corrections to the
+ application binary interface (ABI) might be required in 4.6.1, in order to
+ ensure compatibility going forward. Any such change will be clearly
+ documented in the release notes for 4.6.1.
- For information about mixing exceptions with Symbian leaves,
- see \l{Exception Safety with Symbian}
+ \section1 Supported Devices
- \section1 Multimedia and Phonon Support
+ Qt is designed to work on any device which runs one of the following
+ versions of Symbian:
- Qt provides a backend for Qt's Phonon module, which supports
- video and sound playback through Symbian's Multimedia Framework, MMF.
+ \table
+ \header \o Symbian Version
+ \row \o S60 3.1
+ \row \o S60 3.2
+ \row \o S60 5.0 (Symbian ^1)
+ \endtable
+
+ Qt has received \l{Tier 1 Platforms}{Tier 1} testing on the following phone models:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Phone
+ \row \o Nokia 5800
+ \row \o Nokia E71
+ \row \o Nokia E72
+ \row \o Nokia N78
+ \row \o Nokia N95
+ \row \o Nokia N97
+ \row \o Samsung i8910
+ \endtable
+
+ \section1 Supported Functionality
+
+ The following technologies and classes are not currently supported:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Technology
+ \o Note
+ \row \o QtConcurrent
+ \o Planned for future release.
+ \row \o QtDBus
+ \o No current plans to support this feature.
+ \row \o QtOpenGL ES
+ \o Planned for future release.
+ \row \o Printing support
+ \o No current plans to support this feature.
+ \row \o Qt3Support
+ \o No current plans to support this feature.
+ \endtable
+
+ The following technologies have limited support:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Technology
+ \o Note
+ \row \o QtSql
+ \o The only driver supported is SQLite.
+ \row \o QtMultimedia
+ \o Although the module itself is supported, no backend for Symbian
+ is currently available. However, there is a backend available
+ for Phonon.
+ \endtable
- In this release the support is experimental. Video playback may have
- flickering issues, and support for effects and playback queueing is
- incomplete.
+ \section1 Known Issues
- The audio and video formats that Phonon supports depends on what support
- the platform provides for MMF. The emulator is known to have limited
- codec support.
+ Known issues can be found by visiting the
+ \l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/Qt460KnownIssues}{wiki page} with an
+ up-to-date list of known issues, and the list of bugs can be found by
+ \l{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG/component/19171}{browsing} the
+ S60 component in Qt's public task tracker, located at
+ \l{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/}{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/}.
- In addition, there exists a backend for the Helix framework. However, due
- to it not shipping with Qt, its availability depends on the Symbian
- platform in use. If available, it is loaded in preference over the MMF
- plugin. The Helix plugin requires Symbian signed capabilities. If the
- application does not have those capabilities, the MMF plugin, if present on
- the device, will be loaded instead. The capabilities the Helix backend
- requires are AllFiles, DiskAdmin and MultimediaDD.
