Following the acquisition Digia becomes responsible for all the Qt activities formerly carried out by Nokia. These include product development, as well as the commercial and open source licensing and service business. Following the acquisition, Digia plans to quickly enable Qt on Android, iOS and Windows 8 platforms. One of Digia's key objectives with this acquisition is to improve its position within the Qt ecosystem by further strengthening Qt's R&D capabilities and expanding its reach on many more platforms than ever before. As part of the transaction, a maximum of 125 Qt people from Nokia will transfer to Digia.

It brings increased stability to the Qt SDK 1.2. The updated SDK includes Qt 4.8.1 desktop installers for Mac and Windows in addition to Qt source packages. Qt 4.8.1 is the first patch release to the 4.8 series with over 200 functional improvements to the desktop and embedded platforms. The focus of the error corrections, made by primarily by Digia, has been on desktop and embedded platforms with a large number of fixes focussed on QtCore, QtGUI and QtNetwork. For more details please see: Qt 4.8 library release. Increased ease targeting Nokia N9 through bug fixes and added functionality: The added functionality in the Qt SDK 1.2.1 relates mainly to improved runtimes for testing. The Simulator now supports both landscape and portrait orientations. In addition, the Qt Quick Components in the Simulator have been upgraded to use the same version as is on the device. There are now three separate QEMU images - one each for PR1.0, PR1.1 and PR1.2. In the last weeks there have also been some other updates that will help you with your Nokia N9 development: An example application showcasing key Harmattan APIs. The application shows how to utilize Qt Mobility interfaces (e.g. maps, multimedia and sensor data) in applications. The Harmattan developer library and UX documentation have been updated. The latter is available online, and the former is also provided within the Harmattan target for Qt SDK. Other interesting projects: Shader effects using QML. Have you noticed / tested the Qt.labs.shaders plugin yet? It ships with Qt 4.7.4 onwards, making it easier to make graphical effects with QML. A Qt 4 version of the demo is available here for desktop and Nokia N9. For developers looking at 3D technologies, Qt 3D 1.0 for Qt 4.8.1 has also been released today. Qt 3D will be providing OpenGL accelerated 3D content defined in QML. Qt 3D packages for Harmattan and Symbian are not pre-built and you'll have to build them yourself. Nokia N9 build instructions can be found here. http://My-Maemo.com/index.php?p=7986&c=20 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:49:44 +0200 Maemo HAPPY EASTER TO ALLMY-MAEMO.COM VISITORS http://My-Maemo.com/index.php?p=7980&c=20 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 13:16:02 +0200 Maemo PySide has now finished migration from its previous standalone setup to Qt Project infrastructure.

In Black Belt Sorvi Hero from Aapo Rantalainen your job is to carve a given shape out of wood with a chisel. The better you match the shape and more accurate job you do, the better score you will get. With earned score you can buy new faster and stronger chisels. Watch out for going too fast, as you might overheat your chisel or break the wood! The game requires hardware keyboard so works fine on the N950 and on the N9 it is not fully playable. http://My-Maemo.com/index.php?p=7887&c=20 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:12:31 +0100 Maemo New weekly Nemo Mobile release 0.20111208.2.NEMO.2012-01-05.1 is now available for the Nokia N950, N900 and i586 with following changes: * No alert tone for incoming SMS fixed * Dialer does not store phone number in history for declined or missed calls fixed * Kasvopus update * bootchart package was added to CE:Utils repository * maliit was updated to latest upstream version.

Featuring Qt Platform Abstraction, threaded OpenGL support, multithreaded HTTP and optimized file system access, Qt 4.8.0 can be downloaded as binary or source packages. Here are some key features that are new in Qt 4.8.0: Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA). QPA restructures the GUI stack to enable easier porting of Qt to different windowing systems and devices. More info. Threaded OpenGL support. Enables those of us that are not OpenGL-ninjas to render OpenGL from more than one thread concurrently. More info. Multithreaded HTTP. HTTP requests are now handled in a separate thread by default. This should make application guis smoother, as networking will no longer use the main event loop. Optimized file system access. The file system stack received some heavy lifting under the hood. The result is better I/O performance, achieved by reducing the number of system calls performed for I/O and by better use of cached data, when available. The improvements in performance can be seen across all platforms. Qt 4.8.0 ships with QtWebKit 2.2.1. More details of the major changes can be found in the Qt 4.8 beta blog post. Qt 4.8 Docs are now available on Qt DevNet. http://My-Maemo.com/index.php?p=7829&c=20 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:04:07 +0100 Maemo New Nemo Mobile weekly release (based on new Mer version 0.20111208.2) has been made available for the Nokia N900, N950 and x86.
