More Qt pies

More branch news:

Further to Remko’s post where he announced the opening of our Qt4 development branch, we’ve now merged the Qt4 port into our mainline branch. While there are still some unresolved issues, as listed at http://psi-im.org/wiki/Qt4_Issues, several of us are now using this just fine for our day to day IM.

Our progress towards 0.11 can be seen at our bug tracker progress page at http://psi-im.org/flyspray/?do=roadmap which is Hal and Tony’s new toy.

Lastly we’ve released yet another development branch of Psi in a darcs repo at http://dev.psi-im.org/darcs/psi-ng. The purpose of this branch is to allow us to develop features due in a future version which won’t be in the next release. Since our next planned release is 0.11, which is purely a Qt4 port, all new features we work on before the release of 0.11 will be going into the psi-ng repo. We’ll then be able to easily bring these features back into mainline after 0.11 has been released. The first new feature in the psi-ng branch is ad-hoc commands and remote-control, great features that Jabber has over other networks, and particularly timely as more Jabber servers are having ad-hoc admin interfaces added.

Lookiong at the Qt bugs at http://psi-im.org/wiki/Qt4_Issues, its concerning since there are so many… I hope that using Qt doesn’t bring more problems than benefits. Qt 3.* also had many problems… Kevin, are you sure this is the right way?

Well, as we’ve always used Qt, using it now isn’t really much of a decision. The bugs in Qt4 are getting reported and fixed reasonably quickly, and we’re coding around some.

Remko Troncon wrote on February 3, 2006

Qt4 is just very new (a complete rewrite mostly), so it’s logical that there are bugs. Trolltech is very fast at confirming and fixing bugs: almost all of the bugs we reported have been fixed by now. IMO, there is no better toolkit out there than Qt, and there never has been.

are there any updates on the jingle integration? the jingle branch seems to be rather dead - will the code be included into psi-ng?

Kev wrote on February 21, 2006

It will be integrated into either mainline or ng at some point, yes. At the moment we’re focusing on the Qt4 development until the libjingle/jingle convergeance stabalises a little.
