I’ve previously talked about how the Qt 5 Winter is coming. Since we started talking about that, people have begun asking what are the date limits for each thing, when the API would freeze, when Qt 5.0 would be stable, when we’d release, etc. This blog tries to answer that a little. Last month, we …

Winter is coming
Winter is also coming for Qt 5.0: we are approaching feature freeze. The exact date, I can’t tell you, because we don’t know yet. That’s actually the subject of this blog: we need to find a date and I need your help to get there.

QUrl in Qt 5: woes of hostname validity
A couple of days ago I posted on Google+ a comment when I was frustrated trying to update the QUrl hostname-parsing code. Turns out that rewriting the parser wasn’t that difficult for QUrl, but dealing with hostnames is very much so. The old code in QUrl simply deals with it directly, even what’s supposed to …

QUrl in Qt 5: validity
QUrl in Qt 4 tried to follow the ABNF grammar for URIs quite strictly, but it had a tolerant mode parser and, in the end, almost everything was accepted anyway. Looking into WebKit’s test, turns out that there are a lot more cases which QUrl failed to understand. In Qt 5, I’ll rewrite the parser to hopefully be even faster and accept some of those new cases, without sacrificing the conformance in compliant URIs.

The future of moc
Two days ago, on his blog on some Qt Creator news, Christian wrote: We’re currently prototyping what would happen if we replaced our own C++ code model with clang’s. The first comment in the blog was praising that research, but that got me thinking: what do we gain from it? Qt Creator already has a …

C++11 support in Qt 5
Marc Mutz posted today a blog calling for immediate support of C++11 in C++-based projects. He also linked to Herb Sutter’s blog saying the standard was unanimously approved in the ISO voting. In his blog, Marc calls for Qt 5 and KDE 5 to require C++11 in the compilers. I agree with the principle and …

QUrl in Qt 5: encoding
One of the classes I used to maintain in Qt was QUrl and I had worked quite extensively with KUrl previously, so I knew what was wrong with the current API. And during the Contributor Summit in Berlin, I volunteered to rewrite QUrl, to add some features KUrl needed. I described the original goals of …
