Qt Updates: Qt 4.5.1, Creator 1.1 and Plugin for Visual Studio
The Qt Software division of Nokia has fixed problems in Qt 4.5.1 and is releasing an improved Qt Creator 1.1. Also new is a plugin to integrate Qt with Microsoft's Visual Studio.
A whole lot of minor changes went into Qt Creator 1.1: syntax highlighting and code completion for qdoc and doxygen tags, a split editor rework, and a new option to start in an external terminal. The Qt development environment now also supports JavaScript and provides a wrapper script for the Linux libQt3Support library to prevent crashes in, say, openSUSE 11.1.
Qt Creator, sleek and editor-like, first appeared October 2008. Developers informed about its progress in a blog. All details of Creator 1.1, its third version so far, are included in release notes.
Completely new is a plugin for Microsoft's Visual Studio programming environment (Qt is also under LGPL). Qt 4.5.1 developers also resolved a bunch of bugs (see the Qt release notes). The current graphic framework is available with Creator in a new build of the Qt SDK (2009.2). The download site includes all details.
