QT 4.5 Released, Plus New IDE and Analysis Tool 62
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."

Using Qt 4.5-rc1 from Debian Experimental and the Arora browser [google.com], I get 98/100 on Acid 3. It renders pretty fast as well.

And for those like me who were quite excited with the new licensing and wanted to use it with java... Don't think of it...
Qt Jambi - a port of Qt to the Java programming language - has been discontinued in order to focus resources on the Qt cross platform application and UI framework. Qt Jambi will be maintained for one year after the March 2009 release of Qt Jambi 4.5.0_01, and will be made available upon release under the LGPL license

PyQt is also currently in the middle of nowhere. And PyQt, as far as I can tell, isn't really community maintained. Its a very small group of guys doing all the work, and who as of yet haven't come to a decision on what will happen to the project now that the little revenue they got from commercial licensing will likely dry up.
I was hoping that Qt would actual pull in more projects and not drop them.

PyQt is developed as a commercial product which is available under a closed source license and under the GPL plus the other FOSS licenses that Qt itself used before the recent change to LGPL.

99/100 here, using the official 4.5 release. Apparently, the link test fails.
