Whiteboard
Qt Webkit releases:
* Intention is to separate releases from the Qt source code
* Planned, but no ETA for now
* recommends 2.2 for Oneiric
ARM:
* QReal is a double in most archs, but is not on ARM (where it is a float), and it takes a lot of effort to maintain that architecture
* Qt team: making it double is (maybe?) not going to happen because double is apparently slower (but ARM is slow anyway so we are not doing anything new :S) Qt team will reevaluate to see if this is still an issue with modern ARM architectures.
Qt 5:
* QWidgets should not be used on top of Qt Quick
- QWidgets will remain rasterized
- Qt Quick scenegraph will not use proxy widgets
- Qt Quick OpenGL Scenegraph backend optional
- Mesa fallback currently slow
- Make use of Lighthouse platform (Android and various other ports of Qt)
Qt Contributor Summit in June (16th to 18th in Berlin)
Qt3 Support Compatibility
- nobody wants it, due to go away
- Many apps still use it, unfortunately :(
- could be recompiled against Qt 5 if necessary but far more preferable to port apps
Qt in Wayland
* Simple input works already
Qt 4.8
- due in a couple of months, package for oneiric
QAccessibility
- Work in 4.8 for widgets using the Qt-At-SPI bridge
- some patches needed for best support, ask fregl
- QML accessibility support also in progress
QML2 issues from KDE: http://
- Size hint is implicitWidth and implicitHeight in Qt Quick 1.1+
- Layouts wanted
* Will building qtwebkit as a separate package actually be supported in qt 4.8?
without hacky patches to make qt assistant use qtwebkit
- Feature request to add a build time switch to Qt Assistant
- Must not introduce a build-dep loop (Qt modularity improvements in Qt5 will probably fix this)
- Trolls will look in to it
* l10n in Qt5
- There are several requests to use gettext
- Could be done overriding tr calls to use gettext
- Feasible for regular translation calls, but the method that loads plurals is not virtual, so it cannot be overriden
- In Qt 5 there is the opportunity to fix that.
Phonon verions in 4.8
- Is it getting updated? No, and it'll probably be removed in Qt5 and developers will be directed to Phonon upstream.
- Distribution platforms such as Windows usually use 2 year old Phonon
