Qt 4.5 , just curious

[aamer4yu]

Hi, I can see snapshot of Qt 4.5. After Qt 4.4.1 , thers 4.5.
What can be so dramatic change in Qt 4.5 that they are making after 4.4.1 . :confused::confused:

Just 2 releases in 4.4.x series ?? anybody else curious ?
Anybody know the changes in Qt 4.5 ??

It's not like that. After releasing a minor version (4.x.0) the development switches immediately to the next minor version (4.x+1.0). All releases made in the "old" branch (4.x.y) are bugfixes and maintenance and are also incorporated into the trunk (the main development branch). So Qt4.5 snapshots were available immediately after releasing 4.4.0.

ok thanks,,,

so does you know features of 4.5 ?? I like the new features in 4.4 and guess it was a major release from previuos versions

AFAIK it won't be a revolution, the similar to 4.3 compared to 4.2.

so does you know features of 4.5 ??
Something minor I noticed is that we're finally going to have close buttons in tabs (http://doc.trolltech.com/main-snapshot/qtabwidget.html#tabsClosable-prop). :)

Hmm.... it would be better if the button was a general purpose button. One can always connect it to deleteLater() or similar but sometimes the button could be used for something else. Who wants to file a suggestion? :)

QTabBar (http://doc.trolltech.com/main-snapshot/qtabbar.html#setTabButton) seems to already treat it as a general purpose button. You can even set the tab button on the left or right side of the tab.

What is the estimated release date of Qt 4.5? Anyone knows? (;

I don't have my notes here, but as far as I remember it will be Q1 2009 (or a bit sooner).
