Qt Accomplishments and Activities

Qt Progress

Current target schedule for Qt 5.6 will be an RC release on 2/10, followed by a final release on 2/24.

A follow-up to the rather long thread regarding the future of C++, CoW (Copy-on-Write) and it's relation to Qt development, a new thread has arisen: "What kind of airplane we want to build?"  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.devel/24514

Logins across multiple Qt websites has been unified into a single login for all sites.

Qt Changes and Release Status

In this webinar, you will learn the basics of TDD (Test Driven Development) using a combination of Google Test and the Qt Test Framework. You will see how Google Mock will allow you to isolate the units of your application for maximum testing using design techniques such as layered design and dependency inversion. Google Test and Google Mock make it easy to write test harnesses that leverage that isolation.
