Potential Maemo5 update with Qt 4.7?
While this sounds quite interesting and promising. But before describing, I want to note that Nokia often promised a lot, but not always (especially not always in time) we received exactly what was promised. By the way, the article says:
““ Potential ”means it couldn’t be
“Potential (update) means - it may or may not happen, we have no idea whether it will be and if so, when” (free translation)
Work on the update itself goes, but they, as described above, call it potential. As they say, there will be a lot of special bug fixes, but there will also be new features, since Maimo will switch to 4.7-fremantle (4.7 is about the version of Kyuti, and fremantle is the code name of Maymo5). Since the N900 does not support multi-touch, in Qt 4.6 QGesture was simply disabled by default, while in 4.7 they simply added support for gestures for a single screen, for example, press, and then press-and-hold (as I understood from the article Both actions are considered as one, otherwise there is nothing new in this, since the usual pressing and pressing-and-holding work separately for a long time). And as they promise, it makes “friendly UI more friendly” (which they meant =)). The same innovation in Qt Mobility's Bearer Management (as already appeared on TMT , the next update just has to bring Qt Mobility to Maemo5), which, according to their description, makes it possible to disable the internal auto-connect feature kyuti via MaemoInternetConnectivity :: setAutoConnectEnabled () . Well, to top it off, many of the new features of Qt 4.7 will work on the N900, especially (as they emphasize this) interesting is QtDeclarative ( here are a couple of videos, and a description in English of what it is)
')
Experimental Qt 4.7 packages can be found in the extras-devel repositories. Users of the Scratchbox SDK can install them by running fakeroot and running apt-get install libqt4-experimental-dev .
All bugs are sent to bugreports.qt.nokia.com.
Of course, I’m waiting and happy with updates, but more and more I like independent projects on the N900, for example, androyd works better and better every day, supports from the iron box (speakers, headphones, sinezub and much more) are added. I also found KDE Mobile Plasma for the N900 a long time ago, and tried to get in touch with the person who did it, but he apparently disappeared, and recently read the news about working on the plasma for the N900 (there is a video link).
