Subject: Re: [Development] Please do not remove QtWebkit from 5.6 official

Will Qt 5.6 have alternative methods to export HTML to PDF that support major 
platforms of Android, iOS, Linux, OS X, and Windows?

On iOS a Qt developer must resort to native code to generate PDF files.

Unfortunately Qt 5.5 PDF export is dependent on QPrinter which is not supported 
on iOS.  While iOS can create and displays PDF’s just fine, iOS has no printer 
support.


In the future, Is it possible the PDF creation dependency could be separated 
from QPrinter?  So that Qt PDF generation would have better cross-platform 
support?



QPrinter printer(QPrinter::ScreenResolution); // QPrinter not supported on 
iOS

printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);

printer.setOutputFileName(pdfFileName);

drawReport(printer);

m_painter.end();



Without understanding internals of PDF file creation, it feels like PDF 
creation should not be dependent on QPrinter?

Hi Mark,

If you need to use Qt Webkit, then it is probably better to stay with Qt 5.5. 
There is nothing that makes Qt 5.5 bad overnight, if it works for you now. Qt 
WebEngine is in many aspects already much better in features than Qt Webkit. Qt 
WebEngine is also better maintained, and does receive much more improvements 
and security fixes than Qt Webkit. Even though some features of Qt WebKit are 
not in same way available with Qt WebEngine, it is overall a better choice. Qt 
Webkit is removed from Qt 5.6 because it is no longer maintained well enough to 
be part of an official Qt release. We are also not developing and testing it to 
work with Qt 5.6.

Yours,

  Tuukka

Hi all,

QtWebEngine does not yet have feature parity with QtWebkit.  For instance, 
print support (especially export to PDF) is a critical requirement for my use 
of Webkit.  This missing feature prevents me from migrating to WebEngine.

Removing webkit from the official distribution will prevent me (and surely 
others) from upgrading to 5.6.

Thanks,

I may have tried QPdfWriter once as well and had issues with sizing and 
scaling.  I know I spent a *lot* of time with cross-platform PDF generation 
development.

Rendering PDF report text as bitmaps would not be acceptable to my customers 
either.

Not good news for developers that must create PDFs on iOS.

Re: [Development] New Qt 5.6.0 Beta snapshot available

I use Jenkins CI to build desktop / mobile app software releases.  Did you

Indeed, that would.

We'll have to have a long discussion on what to name the class, though...
QTimeExtended? QExtendedTime? QTimeV2? QMicroTime? QTimeSpan?

If you're going to do this, you'll need a 64-bit integer anyway, so you may as 
well provide nanosecond support.

It was at

I have been updating using Qt 5.5.0 at every snapshot and RC and I feel

My feel is that Qt developers targeting Android and iOS mobile devices do not

Re: [Development] Bluetooth support for Windows (RT/10) in Qt 5.6

2015-06-17 Thread Edward Sutton 
I would like to see Qt Bluetooth support back to Windows 7.  However I agree 
work priority should be focused on Windows mobile devices.

For Windows 7 support I had to write an abstraction layer for Bluetooth that is 
implemented using Winsock 2.2.

If Windows 10 and mobile devices drop support for Windsock 2.2, then I totally 
understand not having the resource for Qt to support all Windows platforms.

Hello,

However if I'm not mistaking, focusing on WinRT api discards MinGW compiler, 
that's bad news for open source tools.

Hi,

A huge +1 on this, BT support on Windows is long overdue.

While there is certainly more inertia in the windows desktop version
than probably any other Qt supported platform, Microsoft itself is
trying to nudge people into quicker upgrade cycles, and while Win8 has
certainly gotten a pushback, with Win10 around the corner I would also
try not to get bogged down with pre-WinRT solutions, as painful as that
might sound in some cases.

Best regards,
Attila

 Hi everyone,

 It might sound weird that while we're trying to get 5.5.0 out I am starting a 
 discussion about Qt 5.6, but if you look at the release schedule there is not 
 much time for the feature freeze

 https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5.6-release

 One of the items the Windows / WinRT team would really like to see included 
 to that release is support for Bluetooth and BTLE.

 The current idea is to use the WinRT API for that backend, as it provides the 
 advantage that it can also be used on Windows Desktop starting Windows 8(.1). 
 WinRT covers Windows 10 support (both classic and Unified Windows Platform) 
 as well.

 This leaves out support for Windows Desktop older than Windows 8. But as we 
 are aiming to implement new features, we should draw the line somewhere and 
 the WinRT backend clearly has the biggest potential to be supported in many 
 years' time, while the (or multiple) pure desktop solution would be 
 deprecated sooner or later again. Also given the fact that we can target 
 quite many platforms with one backend gives us a better coverage for 
 maintenance and resourcing.

 The reason that I am mentioning this on the mailing list is that after 
 talking to some folks here in The Qt Company, multiple people inside and 
 outside already started or wanted to start efforts on this topic. Hence the 
 aim of this email is to get everyone connected and work on it together to 
 make it happen within the 5.6 feature freeze.

 So, if you have worked on Bluetooth (LE) on Windows or want to, please get in 
 touch with me to align.


 BR,
 Maurice

Re: [Development] Your actions needed, Qt5.5.0 RC Final is nearing!

2015-06-05 Thread Edward Sutton 
Given recent OS X updates are free do you really need support for anything 
older?

Supporting only OS X 10.8 and newer is reasonable IMO.


There are many good and usable Apple computers that will unfortunately live on 
OS X 10.8 until they die.

Anything older than this can never be updated to OS X Mavericks 10.9

OS X Mavericks system requirements
Learn about the system requirements for OS X Mavericks v10.9.

To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:

What is the earliest OS X version on which 5.5 is supposed to work, officially?

For Qt3D, 10.8 is the oldest version handled by the CI. Given recent OS

Re: [Development] Configure setting location for release

Are the configure settings used to build Qt releases version controlled or

would be useful?



This is the configure that Qt tech support told me is used to build Android ( I 
am not sure if that meant release builds? ):

-release -xplatform android-g++ -opengl es2 -android-arch armeabi-v7a -nomake
tests -nomake examples -skip qtserialport -skip qtwebkit -skip qtwebkit-
examples -skip qtx11extras -sysconfdir /etc/xdg -no-icu -openssl

Re: [Development] Removing the -c++11 option from configure

2015-03-21 Thread Edward Sutton 
When cross-compiling Qt for embedded use, are C++11 compilers always available?


Personally I have avoided using latest  C++11 in my Qt applications.

My concern is that I will need to port a Qt app to an embedded platform that 
only has no C++11 compilers.  Or perhaps an old Linux distribution such as RHEL 
5.

 Possible drawbacks:

   = We can add a hidden option for the CI

 - OS X support without libc++ may go away
   = I need more information on this

 Advantage:
 - Will turn on C++14 for recent GCC and Clang

[Development] [Qt3D] Will Qt3D examples expect to run on Android?

2015-03-20 Thread Edward Sutton 
I am excited about Qt3D providing the tools to help solve a problem to help 
visualize underground utilities such as water pipes and telephone cables.

Questions:

1) The bigscene example in Qt 5.5 Alpha is a helpful starting point for me to 
understand Qt3D and use it to draw a string of pipes using QCylinderMesh 
entities.  If I could figure out how to build Qt 5.5 Alpha for Android (on OS 
X),  would bigscene be expected to run on Android?


2) Can I add a Qt3D window to an existing Qt widget form?  I am using widgets; 
no qml.  I want to let users adjust locations of QCylinderMesh entities 
representing underground pipes and obstacles.  Basically a CAE app.



Issues:

1) On OS X 10.10 a Macbook Pro 15” 2880 x 1800 Retina display, Qt3D render 
displays in the bottom-left 1/4 section of the window.  When windows is dragged 
to an external HD resolution monitor, it displays perfectly.  Any ideas?


If this is not the proper place for Qt3D please redirect me.  This is my first 
time positing.  Qt3D looks like a great potential solution to my work.

Thanks in advance,
