QT 4.5 Released, Plus New IDE and Analysis Tool 62

Posted by timothy on Tuesday March 03, 2009 @11:41AM from the cute-train-is-the-q-train dept.

stoolpigeon writes "QT 4.5 has arrived and is now available for download. This new release is quite significant due to licensing changes that now make it simpler to use QT in a wider range of products without cost as well as a number of new features. The latest version of Webkit is now integrated into the product. Qt 4.5 sees the introduction of QtBenchLib, a new component to make measuring the performance of the toolkit and checking for regressions easier. Mac developers who use Qt will note a major reworking of 4.5 on the Mac, now providing 64-bit support. QT Creator is a new IDE that looks to have combined a number of previously separate tools. And there is much more."

Halo 3 Criticized In Murder Conviction 839

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday January 14, 2009 @06:23AM from the master-chief-charged-as-an-accessory dept.

oldwindways writes "An Ohio teen was found guilty of murdering his mother and shooting his father in the head after they took away his copy of Halo 3. One has to wonder if this is going to have any effect on the games industry. Clearly, the AP thought they could stir up something controversial by asking the IP owner for a statement: 'Microsoft, which owns the intellectual property for the game, declined to comment beyond a statement saying: "We are aware of the situation and it is a tragic case."' I suppose the good news is they did not accept his insanity plea, so no one can claim that Halo 3 drove him insane. Even so, I don't think anything good can come out of this for gamers." Unfortunately, it seems somebody can claim that the game was a contributing factor; the judge who presided over this case said he believes that the 17-year-old defendant "had no idea at the time he hatched this plot that if he killed his parents, they would be dead forever." GamePolitics has further details from the judge's statement. It doesn't help that the boy's lawyers used video game addiction as a defense.

Pricing development software for a global is inherently very hard, because as you point out the context varies so widely. We've priced Qt according to the value we believe it provides, but recognize our pricing won't work for everyone. FYI, if you are a small business or a startup, our Small Business Program will provides licenses at a comfortable discount (http://trolltech.com/products/qt/licenses/pricing /licensing/smallbusiness).
