What´s the Buzz?

I am very excited with the upcoming Qt4.6 release. It provides great improvements, especially animations and Windows 7 integration, but also in terms of performance and fixes many bugs. Qt 4.6 will help us to go to the next stage of development.

The Symbian port in Qt 4.6 provides us with a brand new framework for QQ client development on Nokia Mobiles. Qt not only bring advanced UI experiences and rich features, but also reduces our development efforts and provide the possibility for our cross-platform vision.

The new functionality in Qt 4.6 provides the advanced capabilities we need for our continued use of Qt in our product line. We are especially glad we are able to help shape the future direction of Qt by being able to contribute both code and roadmap input to future Qt versions.
