[http://www.trolltech.com/newsroom/announcements/00000155.html] which
among other things
[http://www.trolltech.com/developer/changes/changes-3.3.0.html] features
[http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/whatsnew.html] improved .NET
support, full 64-bit support, IPv6 and backend support for two more
databases. Also new is the -dlopen-opengl configure switch, which is
very useful for prelinking Qt and KDE apps against the -PIC compiled
nVidia drivers and support for Xft2 client side fonts on X servers
without the RENDER extension. In light of the release, OSNews

and embedded systems, while he forsees Qtopia and Linux taking over PDAs
and Smartphones in the next few years.
