De eerste bètaversie van Qt 5.11 is enkele dagen geleden uitgebracht, we vermelden als extra nog de 5.10.1 uitgave uit februari. Qt, uitgesproken als cute, is een opensource- en platformonafhankelijke omgeving waarmee applicaties en grafische gebruikersinterfaces kunnen worden ontwikkeld. Het wordt onder andere gebruikt in Google Earth, KDE, Opera, Skype, VLC Media Player en VirtualBox. De aankondigingen van 5.11 beta1 en 5.10.1 zien er als volgt uit:
Qt 5.11 Beta1 Released
I am pleased to announce that Qt 5.11 Beta 1 is released today. Convenient online binary installers are available for trying out features coming in Qt 5.11. We will follow similar Beta process as earlier and provide multiple Beta releases via the online installer.
For new features coming in Qt 5.11, please check the New features in Qt 5.11 wiki page and the Qt Roadmap for 2018 blog post.
After the Qt 5.11 Beta 1 released today we will push out multiple new Beta N releases using the online installer. With this approach it is easy for users to test the new features and provide feedback. During the beta phase we expect to have new Beta N releases with 1-2 weeks intervals. When the maturity has increased sufficiently we will create a release candidate of Qt 5.11. These will be made available directly via the online installer, we are not planning publish separate blogs for the subsequent beta releases and release candidate(s). In addition to binaries, source packages of each beta release are of course also available for those who prefer to build themselves.
I hope many of you will install the Qt 5.11 Beta releases, test and provide us your feedback to complete Qt 5.11. For any issues you may find, please submit a detailed bug report to bugreports.qt.io (please remember to mention which beta you found the issue with, check for duplicates and known issues). You are also welcome to join the discussions in the Qt Project mailing lists, developer forums and to contribute to Qt.
If you do not yet have the Qt online installer, get it from the Qt Account or from the Qt Download page.
