Great news. Now if they could only make it more lightweight... You don't feel it in Linux, but having distributed Qt with a commercial Windows app, It's quite a pain to have your app weighing in at over 7M for just the GUI module. That's not a lot in today's world, but it's still heavy. don't know how much further you can reduce it technically though. Still, we chose it over other options (cross platform-ability was the major plus) and were pretty happy with it.
