Hi,
We are getting close to the 2.0 release. Our metrics & your feedback indicate
that the quality is pretty good, and we are really keen on getting this baby
out as soon as possible.
However, Qt 4.7 will need some more time to polish. Instead of releasing 2.0
together with Qt 4.7, we therefore decided to release 2.0 some weeks in advance
- you will still need Qt 4.7 sources to compile QtCreator 2.0 though.
But there is one big feature in 2.0 that depends on Qt 4.7 - Qml support. Do
not get me wrong - QtDeclarative is already used productively in a lot of
projects. But still, it is not officially released yet, and you cannot e.g. get
commercial support at this point in time.
This is why we decided to 'hide' large parts of the current qml support in the
2.0 release, just to bring it back in another release as soon as Qt 4.7 ships.
That is,
+ With QtCreator 2.0 you will be able to open and run .qmlproject/.qml files,
but there are neither wizards, nor the Quick Designer or the Qml Inspector, nor
qmlviewer & examples & demos bundled.
+ As soon as Qt 4.7 is out we will ship QtCreator 2.1, this time with the
mentioned features.
What if you want to work with Qml right now?
+ If you are compiling from source, set the QTCREATOR_WITH_QML environment
variable (before calling qmake)
+ We will enable the support in the nightly snapshots again right after 2.0
ships
Regards
Kai Koehne
