Trolltech has released a Version 4.4 of Qt. Key features added to the framework in Qt 4.4 include functionality that let developers create applications that blend content from the live Web into native desktop and mobile applications. Qt 4.4 also makes it easier to deliver a consistent user experience across Windows, Macintosh, and Linux systems, as well as on mobile devices.

As a tool for building cross-platform applications, QT provides a common framework to deliver applications and services across both desktops and devices. Qt 4.4 extends the reach of those applications so they can also be deployed on devices running Windows Embedded CE, which runs on a variety of devices-from smartphones and barcode readers to consumer products like set-top boxes and digital picture frames.

"With Qt 4.4 we advanced three of our key design goals; first, giving developers the ability to develop cutting edge user interfaces, second, enabling them to more efficiently develop faster, high performance applications, and finally extending our vision of Qt Everywhere by adding support for Windows CE," said Benoit Schillings, Trolltech CTO.

In addition to the integration of WebKit and Windows Embedded CE support, Qt 4.4 includes more than 100 new classes and incorporates a number of performance improvements. The new features in Qt 4.4 include:
