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

    Well the sentence isn't exactly true.

    Anything that can be done in one closed syntactical language can be done in another, and there is nothing special about calling one set of low-level APIs as opposed to calling another one.

    You can pretty much build a bridge module from Windows API calls to QT and avoid a great deal of code conversion.

    No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
