Qtopia - 4.2.1 Release Notes

Introduction

The Qtopia 4.2.1 release is a maintenance release of Qtopia that is based on Qt 4.2 technology. This release provides a number of bug fixes and performance improvements, both general and Greenphone-specific.

Enhancements

  1. Bluetooth Bluetooth support is provided in this release only as a technology preview. When building Qtopia, Bluetooth is disabled by default, but may be enabled by specifying the -bluetooth configure switch.
  2. Calendar
  3. Clock
  4. Look and Feel
  5. Server
  6. Telephony

Optimizations

  1. Build System: Reduced installed Qtopia footprint by avoiding installation of non-scalable images when scalable versions are available.
  2. Contacts: Improved performance of importing from SIM card.
  3. Data Linking: Don't use (relatively expensive) rich text when not necessary.
  4. Data Linking: Improved performance of link verification.
  5. Launching: configure now provides a -force-quicklaunch switch to make all applications use the quicklauncher. This option improves launch speed for some applications at the cost of larger binary size.
  6. Painting: Improved performance on 16bpp displays by not using 32bpp background brushes and pixmaps.
  7. Painting: Improved performance by eliminating several instances of unnecessary painting.
  8. PIM: Improved performance of SQL access by moving database initialization to the quicklauncher and caching the most common queries.
