Hi Joel,

I had a look at QtDMM to see how it compiles with Qt4 this morning.
Actually was a piece of cake. A few minor manual changes and the removal
of the QCustomEvent stuff on top of the qt3 porting tool and it works!
No hacks where needed. I tested a few multimeter and I'm confident that
it works (import seems to be broken though). Sorry but I didn't bother
to look at your changes. I just took my latest local version and ported
it (took me an hour)

It's now relicensed to GPL version 3

You can download version 0.9.0 from here
http://www.mtoussaint.de/qtdmm.html

Cheers
Matthias Toussaint

I'll discuss it with the others, but my personal view is that this
would be the ideal plan.

I've been working on the code, and it almost compiles on Qt4 now:
https://github.com/jhol/qtdmm . After you make your release, I'll
rebase my branch on top of that and see about getting it working with
libsigrok, and hosted at sigrok.org <http://sigrok.org>.

Yup that's my plan.


Thanks
Joel
