[Development] Qt 5.12 new features
Hi, Qt 5.12 Feature Freeze will be in effect Mon 20th August and we should have already now pretty good understanding what is new in Qt 5.12. So please update 5.12 new features page here: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.12 br, Jani ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
Re: [Development] Qt 5.12 new features
5.11 included WebGL TP2. Is there any change? Why is it staying TP2, or should it be TP3? 5.12 looks like it'll be a pretty great update! I'm not sure what's on the agenda for 5.13... but as I mentioned on interest, one pain point I continually have is the amount of custom platform integrations for mobile. This is one area where Xamrain excels, as they have a simple property on an object you can set to control things like the status bar visibility, the screen brightness, etc. The downside is the Xamarin stuff is all platform-specific so using a iOS property on Android won't work. This is one area where Qt can leapfrog the other platforms including React Native by being cross platform. Anything that doesn't require me to write Obj-C is a very good thing! I figure this would need to be a few Qt Quick/QObject Singletons. Notifications should be supported too, and this could also be used for desktop platform notifications as well. The notifications support would only need to cover being messaged my the platform, and not any display - this would get me out of having to deal with Obj-C almost completely. (My beef wi th ObjC is other than being not good at it, is whatever I'm writing isn't cross-platform. Java I am more comfortable with, so I complain less, but I still cringe on the non-portability!)

Re: [Development] Qt 5.12 new features
A bit unclear about deprecating QQC1 Since in QQC2 no TreeView and even no plans for this, isn't it a bit too early to deprecate QQC1? thanks On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 4:02 PM Jason H wrote: > 5.11 included WebGL TP2.

If you aim for a native looking QML application in Windows 7 then QQC1 is basically the only viable way to go. I know there is a third party plugin for QQC2 and the QWidgets style (thus also Windows 7) integration, but it's a third party one [1] and not shipped with Qt. I have no clue how much of the QWidgets style is supported by that plugin. I think it would be nice to not deprecate the only QML way to make native looking Windows 7 applications in the Qt 5.xx lifecycle. Or do deprecate it, but offer the plugin [1] from within the Qt installer as an alternative. Also, i vaguely remember that QQC1 was meant for integrating applications in QML with your host OS and QQC2 was targeted at mobile and to be free of QWidgets to allow for performance improvements. So they both serve a different target group despite having quite some overlap in functionality.

Re: [Development] Qt 5.12 new features
Fixed! WebGL plugin has no relevant changes for 5.12. Some stability & performance tweaks that are available also in 5.11.1. Thank you!

Re: [Development] Qt 5.12 new features
Hi Vlad, While deprecated, Qt Quick Controls 1 is still part of Qt 5.12, so you can continue using it. It’s performance is not adequate for many use cases, and Qt Quick Controls 2 fixed that. Qt Quick Controls 2 is the one we are actively developing and it adds many nice features in Qt 5.12. TreeView would certainly be a natural addition to Controls 2.
