There was no blog posting last week because I was away for some vacation in a warm place.

This week work continued implementing the APIs for Accelerometer and Notification and using the Qt Simulator for testing.

This week we finished implementing some Cordova APIs (at least for the Qt 4 version). Compass and Accelerometer are done and some of Events was implemented. Notification is done as is most of File support and we are starting work on Contacts and Camera.

Note that I am going to start consistently using the name Cordova rather than Callback orPhoneGap for this project.

This week we switched to the new repository. Some pull requests from the old repository had to be resubmitted. Changes were committed for :

Since the last posting we properly set up deployment of Cordova Qt for MeeGo Harmattan (e.g. the Nokia N9 phone). We also got Qt 5 packages including WebKit built for MeeGo Harmattan and tested it on a Nokia N9. Incidently, a big PR1.2 software update rolled out this week for MeeGo Harmattan phones.

In the past week or so we commited some more code for Contacts and Notification. Camera support has been submitted as a pull request.

We are doing some testing on Symbian with a Nokia E7 phone  as we haven't done much testing on Symbian up to now.

Work has been slowing down somewhat as Qt 5 has been firming up for release. The Qt 5 alpha came out on April 3rd and we tested our code with it. Work is moving ahead for a Qt 5 beta release and then the 5.0.0 final this summer.

We've recently been running the Cordova tests and making some fixes to get them to run better. 

One sometimes needs to store information in a temporary location. POSIX compliant platforms like Linux provide the tmpfile() library function to create a unique temporary file that is automatically deleted when it is closed or the program terminates. Qt provides an abstraction of this with the QTemporaryFile class.
