Qt's API lets - you construct such state graphs and execute them. The key benefits - of a state machine are: - - \list - \o Simplify complex application semantics. - \o Use of states to reduce code bloat. - \o Use states to improve maintainability. - \o Makes event-driven programming robust and more - reusable. - \endlist - - It is especially the last item here that makes using a state - machine worthwhile. A key characteristic of event-driven systems - (such as Qt applications) is that behavior often depends not only - on the last or current event, but also the events that preceded - it. With statecharts, this information is easy to express. - - The framework fits neatly into Qt by allowing transitions to - trigger on signals and \l{QEvent}s. By inserting animations into - the state machine, it is also easier to use the framework for - animating GUIs, for instance. - - \section1 Multi-touch & Gestures - - The new multi-touch and gestures support enables user interaction - with more than one finger, and combines sequential touch inputs to - a 'gesture'. - - \image gestures.png - - The main benefits of this new functionality are: - - \list - \o Allow users to interact with applications in better ways. - \o Simplify finger-based interaction with UI components. - \o Allowing common basic gestures and multi-touch - gestures. - \o Enable extensibility. - \endlist - - \section1 DOM access API - - Web pages and XML both have very complex document object models. - The W3C selector API provides a very simple way to access and - manipulate such structures. This API makes it intuitive to access - DOM, helps reuse CSS selector knowledge, and gives little - maintenance or footprint overhead. - - \code - QWebElement document = frame->documentElement(); - QList<QWebElement> allSpans = document.findAll("span"); - QList<QWebElement> introSpans = document.findAll("p.intro span"); - \endcode - - \section1 Qt3D enablers - - As more of Qt, and more of the applications built on Qt go 3D, - API's should be provided to simplify this. Mainly, the new API - aims to make it more easy to create 3D applications with OpenGL. - It will also unify the Qt OpenGL codebase, and enable - cross-platform 3D codebase. - - The main features of the Qt3D enablers are currently: Math - primitives for matrix multiplication, vectors, quaternions - (client-side), and API for vertex and fragment shaders, GLSL/ES. - Future research will, among other things include stencils, -scissors, vertex buffers and arrays, texture manipulation, and - geometry shaders. - - \section1 Performance Optimizations - - As always, Qt continuously strive to optimize its performance. - For this release, we have: - - \list - \o Rewritten the QGraphicsView rendering algorithm. - \o Made QPixmapCache support efficient Key datastructure. - \o Reduced overhead in QNetworkAccessManager. - \o Added the QContiguousCache class, which provides efficient caching of - contiguous data. - \o Removed Win9x support. - \endlist - - \section1 Multimedia Audio Services - - Qt 4.6 comes with new classes for handling audio. These classes - provide low-level access to the system's audio system. By - specifying the audio format (QAudioFormat) and supplying audio - data through a QIODevice, you get direct access to the - functionality of the sound device. The API also comes with - functions to query audio devices for which audio formats they - support. - -*/ - -/* - \page qt4-5-intro.html - \title What's New in Qt 4.5 - - Qt 4.5 provides many improvements and enhancements over the previous releases - in the Qt 4 series.

Core parts of Qt itself have - undergone focused re-engineering for improved graphics performance, including - paint engine and text rendering improvements, Graphics View and style sheet - performance improvements. - - The X11 paint engine now uses XSHM (the X shared memory extension), resulting - in reduced overhead for painting operations. - - A new OpenGL ES 2.0-based paint engine complements the existing OpenGL paint - engine, but with a focus on embedded devices. - - Qt now features a pluggable graphics system, making it possible for users - and developers to select raster, OpenGL or native graphics systems to take - into account the specific needs of their applications and get the best - performance out of them. - - \section1 Mac OS X Cocoa Support - - \image mac-cocoa.png - - Qt for Mac OS X has been substantially rewritten to use Apple's Cocoa API, - enabling Qt applications to be deployed on 64-bit Macintosh hardware. - In addition, the new QMacCocoaViewContainer and QMacNativeWidget classes - provide integration with Cocoa's own features and controls. - - For many applications, a simple recompilation is all that is required - to produce an executable for 64-bit systems. Applications that use - specific features may require a few changes first. - - \section1 Windows CE Feature Parity - - Qt for Windows CE has been updated to bring features of Qt 4.4 and Qt 4.5 - to the Windows CE platform, including: - - \list - \o Phonon Multimedia Framework, using a Direct-Show based backend for audio - and video playback and a Simple WaveOut backend for devices without DirectShow. - \o The inclusion of Qt WebKit integration features previously unavailable for - Qt 4.4 on Windows CE. - \endlist - - Support on all Windows CE platforms; recommended for WinCE 6 and higher. - - The inclusion of these features enables developers to easily integrate Web and - multimedia content into Qt applications on Windows CE Standard Edition while - retaining full cross-platform compatibility with other Qt platforms. - - \section1 XML Transformations with XSLT - - The QtXmlPatterns module has been extended to cover XSLT, a transformation language - for XML documents. A common application of this is the transformation of XML data - into human-readable formats for reporting purposes. - - XSLT makes it simple to reformat XML content without changing data structures, - removes the need for an intermediate DOM layer for presentation, and enables - rapid solutions to be created; for example, creating reports as HTML or PDF. - - \section1 Qt Script Debugger - - \image qtscript-debugger-small.png - - Developers using Qt Script in their applications can take advantage of - the new \l{Qt Script Debugger Manual}{Qt Script Debugger} to provide - error reporting for scripts, and to let users track down bugs in their - own scripts. - - Many standard features of GUI debugging tools are present, allowing the - developer to step through running script code, inspect variables, - automatically catch exceptions, and set conditional breakpoints. - - \section1 OpenDocument File Format Support - - Qt 4.5 includes support for writing rich text documents as OpenDocument files via - the newly-introduced QTextDocumentWriter class. This provides an generic mechanism - for file export that can be used to introduce support for additional formats in - future releases. - - \section1 Improved Network Proxy Support - - Qt's networking classes have been updated with - \l{QtNetwork Module#Support for Network Proxies}{improved proxy support}. - This includes improved integration with system proxy settings and the added - ability to handle non-trivial proxy cases. - - \section1 Qt Designer Improvements - - \image designer-screenshot-small.png - - Qt Designer 4.5 boasts some improvements on usability, for example: - - \list - \o \bold{Icon Mode} for the widget box which substantially reduces - scrolling. - \o \bold{Morphing Widgets} which lets you morph similar widget types, - e.g., a QWidget to a QFrame, types via the context menu's - \e{Morph into} entry. - \o \bold{Filters} for the \gui{Property Editor} that lets you find - properties or widgets quickly. - \o \bold{Find option} for the \gui{Object Inspector} that performs an - incremental search on the form's widgets. Also, the objects' layout - state is displayed here with using an icon on the left. Broken - layouts are represented with the same icon used for the - \e{Break Layout} action. - \endlist - - In addition, Qt Designer now features an \gui{Embedded Design} tab that can - be found in the \gui Preferences dialog. Within this tab, you can define - embedded device profiles. These profiles contains screen settings, e.g., - display resolution, default font and default style. Qt Designer will use - these settings when you edit forms. - - More information about these improvements can be found in the - \l{What's New in Qt Designer 4.5} overview. - - \section1 Qt Linguist Improvements - - Qt Linguist can now load and edit multiple translation files simultaneously. - - Support for XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) files, previously added - to the \c lupdate tool in Qt 4.3, has been improved and extended to the rest of the - Qt Linguist toolchain. This enables files stored in Qt's TS translation format to - be exported for use with other tools. - - The GNU Gettext PO format, which is commonly used in Open Source projects, - is now supported by Qt Linguist. - - Support for a new way to annotate messages, using comments in the source code, - has been added to the toolchain. See the QObject::tr() documentation for a detailed - description and examples. - - The new \c lconvert filter tool facilitates conversion between file formats and - can be used to perform other transformations on collections of translatable strings. - - \section1 Graphics Enhancements - - In addition to the performance improvements in this release, a number of graphics - enhancements extend support for existing features to more platforms and expand Qt's - core set of features with successful add-ons. - - Widget style sheets can now be used on Mac OS X, making this approach to theming - and styling viable for truly cross-platform applications. - - Support for ARGB top-level widgets, previously available as a separate solution, - is now provided as an integral part of Qt. This makes it possible to create windows - with translucent regions on systems with the appropriate support from the user's - window system. See the \l{QWidget#Creating Translucent Windows}{Creating Translucent - Windows} section of the QWidget documentation for details of this feature. - - - \image gtk-style-screenshot.png - - Improved GTK+ integration provided by the QGtkStyle class improves the look and feel - of Qt applications in GNOME and other GTK-based environments. The screenshot above - illustrates this clearly. */ |
