Qt for S60 "Tower" released

ltomuta | 25 June, 2009 19:00

You will most probably be glad to hear fresh news from the Qt for S60 port team. They have a new release* out, it is called Tower and it is based on Qt 4.5.2.

There are many new things and many improvements on the existing features, you can see them all listed in the Detailed list of changes for "Tower". To name just a few:

  • "Experimental" support for QtWebkit (must be enabled at configuration time)
  • Phonon support but without the actual playback capabilities.
  • QtSql with sqlite3 backend
  • Improved exceptions safety for Qt Core library (this comes with a patch for the Nokia C/C++ compiler and some really promissing documentation, judging by the title Wink )
  • Input methods

All these and a lot more in an 126 MB binary installer which is smart enough to detect all compatible SDKs in your system and install "Tower" support in all of them. (From what I see the installer needs a bit of optimization or I need a new computer Laughing )

 

 

 

You can find all the binaries, documentation and support information on the Qt for S60 "Tower" pre-release site. Coming soon support for Samsung's S60 devices, an updated version of the Qt for S60 Developer Library here on Forum Nokia and a new release of the Mobility Extensions APIs.

*Please note that this is still a technology preview release and it is not yet ready for production grade application development.

Hi Lucian,

Great information about Qt for S60 "Tower" release. :)

I am not able to find link to download "Tower" release on S60prerelease site.
http://pepper.troll.no/s60prereleases/

Is that link is removed from that site for some reason?

Thanks,
kamlesh

It's still there

Look for "qt-embedded-s60-preview-4.5.2-tower.exe" at the top of the page

Hi,

It is still there as it was before. http://pepper.troll.no/s60prereleases/ I don't know if clearing the cache of your browser will help. But you can try it out.

(Trying submitting the same reply on this blog for the third time)

Really strange

i checked after clearing cache, from 3 other browser and 3 other machines but same result.

I thought issue was in my IP, then i tested with some external IP but found same issue there. we tested from mumbai and bhavnagar (india).

Two of my friends was able to download it on first day of release, but they are facing same problem now.

Issue resolved.
