Qt 5.3 has been released. The main focus for this release was performance, stability and usability. Nevertheless, Qt 5.3 has also gotten a fair amount of new features that help make developers' lives easier.

Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework for developers using C++ or QML, a CSS & JavaScript like language.

Among the highlights of the 5.3 release are:

  • Support for new platforms (Windows 8.1, WinRT, QNX)
  • QQuickWidget a widget attempting to cross the gap between the new Qt Quick interfaces and traditional QWidget-based interfaces
  • Compiled Qt Quick (only available in Enterprise version, sadly

    Yes, Qt Quick is meant primarily for mobile (and other embedded) use. I don't like it for desktop, though - it doesn't look native at all, you have to invent your own CSS themes which would give your application specific look - that's something not usually wanted for a desktop app.
