A story in ComputerWorld talks about TrollTech's upcoming Qt 3.1 beta. Qt is a multi-platform development toolkit made famous by the KDE desktop environment, and more recently, by the Sharp Zaurus PDA. Qt 3.1 gains integration with the Mac Appearance Manager, support for antialiased text, and user settings. OpenGL support has also been greatly improved, with hardware acceleration now in place.
Other changes under the hood include improved graphical user interface design via Qt Designer, enhanced documentation assistance, improved multithreading resulting in optimized performance, class library assistance and more.
