New Mac version based on Qt 4.5 released

[berndnoetscher]

KBasic for Mac now uses Qt 4.5!

Cocoa Support is postboned to Qt 4.5.1, because Nokia does not provide a binary installer of Qt with Cocoa yet, which makes is difficult to install it. I guess it will be available within the next eight weeks.

New Mac only feature:
Mac OS supports now a Safari like style for the mdi tabs in Kbasic's IDE and Kbasic application using the MDI feature.

Qt WebKit Integration

The WebKit browser engine included with Qt has been upgraded to the latest upstream (trunk) version of WebKit, bringing the latest features and improvements to Qt applications. These include:

* The CSS-based transformation and animation features provided by a WebKit extension.
* Performance improvements due to faster JavaScript engine and optimized page loading.

Standards compatibility improvements include provision for the Netscape plugin API, allowing most Netscape plugins to be used in-process, support for HTML 5 audio and video elements using Qt's Phonon integration, and facilities for client-side storage of Web content.


Graphics Enhancements

In addition to the performance improvements in this release, a number of graphics enhancements extend support for existing features to more platforms and expand Qt's core set of features with successful add-ons.
Widget style sheets can now be used on Mac OS X, making this approach to theming and styling viable for truly cross-platform applications.


Many bug fixes, e.g.

IDE: fixed bug in layout auto-resizing

VM: fixed bug in ASC related to empty string

Database tables may not have a kbrecordid field now (experimental). See sql documentation

UdpSocket support added
