I was using the 4.7 docs, since we always get in trouble for using the newer APIs. Looking at the 4.8 and 5.0 docs, what I was whining about is mostly irrelevant. The structure is all different, but the individual pages are basically the same as they were. Apparently the 4.7 docs were a failed experiment or something. Go look, if you're curious. http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.7/ It's wildly different, with all those annoying magnifying glass icons, tooltips that pop up for 1/2 second with a wall of text you can't read, and the "show all members including inherited members" is missing, so if you know a QThingie has a QDoodadType property, you have to drill through manually to find the info on QDoodadType instead of just seeing the relevant inherited properties. Much suckage. I'm VERY glad they apparently reverted that bad experiment for 4.8 and 5.0. The new docs are a bit different, but not that radical, and the important functionality seems to be where it used to be, more or less. Incidentally, Debian Stable has Qt 4.8 now, so we can just go ahead and use 4.8. I've been messing around with Qt 5.1, and I'm going to try compiling with it soon just to see how bad it is. It doesn't look too bad, actually. The majority of gotchas for porting shouldn't affect us, and it looks like a few piddly things and we're rolling. I'm interested in Qt 5 because the Android stuff is actually a reality after all these years of it being no more than an experimental hack you'd be nuts to rely on. I haven't fooled with any of that yet, but it looks very promising. I might FINALLY be able to write mobile apps again, without giving Apple a bloody fortune or learning a foreign language.
