Re: Possible impending Qt fork and copperspice opportunity
According to the last heated exchange on qt-interest. If you have a Qt license, nobody working on the project can use QtCreator unless they have a license. That means your firmware people who are just writing C/C++ code for device drivers and kernel stuff have to have a full-tilt Qt license if they ...

Re: General Questions
The "shallow copy" feature which you call COW (Copy on Write) is relied on by much of the installed base that uses really low powered processors to maximize battery life. Most embedded systems really suck at dynamic allocation. I worked on one medical device project that relied on "sh...

Re: Possible impending Qt fork and copperspice opportunity
Well, There are many discussions about forking Qt. I've been involved in some of them and probably the cause of others. Yes, it is due to the licensing and Qt Company's interpretation of the licensing. Under the last interpretation, if there is one licensed Qt product used in a project, developers w...

Re: Qt QML or Quick or Quick Controls 2?
I haven't put pencil to paper on any details. When Nokia first proposed QML it was supposed to be a 4GL/script that was compiled by a MOC like process generating all of the C++ classes/headers. The concept was proposed at a time when the Designer was trashing XML for .ui files on a regular basis. Ev...

Re: API stability and proje philosphy question
One further clarification. What I mean by API stability is The code I write and put into production in 2020 will compile against the current version in 2051. No classes or methods will have disappeared and the header files will have the same names in the same places. Lots of things can be added, but...

Re: API stability and proje philosphy question
It's not so much long term support as long term viability. There is little point in jumping from Qt where API changes happen willy-nilly because someone saw something bright and shiny; to another framework where the same thing is happening. Frameworks need to be sacred like COBOL. I can still compil...

API stability and project philosophy question
All, I apologize in advance as this will probably be long. I have been involved in many long rants on qt-interest mailing list about the lack of stability in the API and the continual Easter Egg hunt as each minor release seems to restructure at least a single header directory breaking builds wholes...

Re: Qt QML or Quick or Quick Controls 2?
I was hoping they completely removed QML and JavaScript as that was one of the worst decisions Qt ever made.

Diamond: How committed to Settings as a structure

Some of you might have read all or part of the post series. https://www.logikalsolutions.com/wordpress/uncategorized/copperspice-and-diamond/ One of the first things I wanted to do was...
