V1.6 is based on the newest Qt 4. Compiler, Runtime and IDE have been separated. The IDE has been recreated from scratch optimizing for the new Qt 4. The size of the runtime is now optimized and the stability has been greatly improved! It contains nearly all features of V1.5. The code browser has been improved, which automatically looks up for you when you are typing even user defined classes and subs.
In general, the IDE is optimized for performance and easy using. New controls has been added like date boxes. As well the property window has been updated and face lifted. Another new feature is that the IDE contains dock controls, which means you can easily change the position/size of individual dock windows.
Furthermore, a menubar designer and a toolbar designer, query by example, sql table relation overview and a prototype of report designer have been added. It comes with the new fully featured web browser control WebKit (based on Safari, Apple's “Internet Explorer”), as well the new multi-media support for sounds, videos and more (based on Phonon), which means you can use mpeg vidoes or mp3 sounds in your application. Last but not least, it is prepared for the future, because it comes with Windows Vista look and feel.
Trial Full Version Professional Edition (English and German are supported languages)
DMG: Mac OS X V1.X BETA (Universal Binary)
Update: Qt uses Cocoa in near future (instead of Carbon), which requires at least Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to be installed. KBasic will switch to this newest version as soon as it is available. I will upload a preview for Leopard only soon.

Free Full Version Professional Edition (English and German are supported languages)
The Linux version is free of charge for open source (GPL) Software, if you would like to use it for open source development released under the terms of GNU GPL Version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation.
If you use the Linux version, there are certain licensing conditions that the GNU GPL imposes on you, to ensure that your users enjoy the freedoms guaranteed by the GPL. Users are entitled to: 1. Run your software for any purpose. 2. Obtain and study your software's source code, and adapt it to their needs. 3. Redistribute your software and its source code to others (under the same terms). 4. Improve or modify your software, and release these changes to the public. These freedoms apply to all the source code for all the modules your software is based on, regardless of whether they have been written by you or by others. The freedoms also apply to any associated interface definition files, and even include the scripts and control files used to control compilation and installation of the executable; otherwise users could not exercise their rights.
This means that you cannot use the FREE Linux version if your software must be built with any modules that impose conditions on you that contradict the conditions of the GNU GPL, including, but not limited to, software patents, commercial license agreements, copyrighted interface definitions or any sort of non-disclosure agreement. In these circumstances you must use a commercial edition of KBasic.
