Testing shows that it works better than Qt 5.8.0, but that's rather easy.
Some regressions introduced by 5.8 (some wayland related) aren't fixed yet and Qt WebEngine does not build on AArch64.
There is a bug that breaks applications using kdialog horribly and in the 5.9 branch (to-be 5.9.1) there's already a change that changes behaviour in a (incompatible with the 5.9 doc!) way that breaks some existing applications.
At least they can't make any excuses to not release 5.9.x releases this time...
- beojan 9y ago> There is a bug that breaks applications using kdialog horribly That was fixed in the 5.8 branch. I wonder why the fix isn't in 5.9.
- Vogtinator 9y agoThat's a different bug then, the one I'm referring to was introduced in 5.9...
- rehemiau 9y agoThey could make money on qt creator. It is a very good c++ IDE and people use it not only for creating Qt apps. Make a basic version free but allow installing extensions and other advanced features after paying for the license.
- ronjouch 9y agoThey could, but given the focus and revenue sources for The Qt Company (licensing their tech to run in embedded devices: cars, fridges, etc.), that would probably be very little money. Better spread shiny shiny QtCreator as widely as possible, for free, like a dealers' first free hit to the expensive dope and the ecosystem (which I'm not belittling, it's awesome!). Disclaimer: I'm only a passersby, these are informal feelings based on observing the Qt world.
