My personal opinion? At the earliest end of this year - but honestly, I doubt it. More probably, there will be a a "developer alpha" or some such by the end of 2006. One with a stabilised API but not necessarily feature complete or ready for production. KDE did the same thing with version 2 to give application developers a chance to port their apps to the new framework. I expect KDE4 somewhen first half of 2007. That's personal opinion.

IMO, Qt's help with their classes overview and their tutorials is first-class documentation. If you have specific questions we can take it from there. But I must admit I haven't done much with Qt4 personally yet. > Graphical creation of industrial devices, > such as valves, pumps, tanks, guages and many types of machines and > instruments, with animation and inserts of actual equipment pictures, all > in a SCADA package is of keen interest to this development effort. > > If any other Gentoo-users have a keen interest in remote controls and SCADA > tools sililar to National Intruments Labview, drop me a line with a brief > message about your interests.
