Hello all,

As Kai Koehne recently announced, we are working on QML support in Qt Creator. 
Not only on the graphical side of life, but also on the bright... errr... text 
side. As the QML language is basically an extension of JavaScript, we decided 
to merge the QML text editor and the JavaScript text editor into one single 
editor, and work on improving support for both of them at the same time.

This means:

        The good: in the coming weeks, we will add automatic 
brace/quote/parenthesis/bracket insertion, completion, quick-fixing, etc. for 
both JavaScript and QML. And fix the indenter and the highlighter. And probably 
more.

        The bad: for now, especially the JavaScript editor will have some 
regressions. We know that, and we are working on it. Most noticable: the syntax 
checking will now give invalid errors.) The QML editor will have some too, the 
most noticable here being the completion, which does not know about standard 
types (like Rectangle and Text) anymore.

        The ugly: with commit 96e31c2a0fa8dbd21f30f32ad4c89bd39f4b48c3, which 
should trickle to gitorious Quite Soon Now, you will have to do a distclean 
build: libQml got renamed to libQmlJS, the QtScriptEditor plug-in is gone, and 
the QmlEditor plug-in got renamed to QmlJSEditor.

Cheers,
Erik.
