May 31, 2017
Helsinki, Finland and Santa Clara, Calif. – May 31, 2017 – The Qt Company today introduced Qt 5.9, the latest version of its cross-platform software development framework that enables organizations to create the cutting-edge user experiences their products deserve and their customers require. Fully leveraging the power of the C++11 programming language, Qt 5.9 offers higher performance and stability than ever before, in addition to long-term support (LTS). Qt’s technology is currently in use by a million developers across the world and eight of the top 10 Fortune 500 companies.
With Gartner, Inc. recently forecasting that 8.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2017 (up 31 percent from 2016) and will reach 20.4 billion by 2020, the Internet of Things (IoT) is now firmly entrenched as one of the leading areas of market opportunity across the global technology landscape. As such, organizations and independent developers alike are eager to capitalize on this opportunity by quickly and easily building the applications and devices for today’s and tomorrow’s connected device/IoT industry. With Qt 5.9, these organizations and independent developers can leverage a cross-platform development framework that enables them to build powerful and flexible software for any operating system and any device – regardless of size.
“In today’s hyper-connected, mobile-first world, customer expectations have skyrocketed to levels that organizations couldn’t have envisioned even a few short years ago,” said Lars Knoll, CTO, The Qt Company. “Consequently, the apps and devices that developers are creating need to meet and exceed those elevated customer expectations for a world-class user experience – and the framework developers use to build those products has to be as advanced and versatile as they are. With Qt 5.9, we’re providing developers with the performance and stability they demand from their development tools to help position them for success in today’s highly competitive, app-driven economy.”
As is the case with all of Qt’s application development and device creation tools, the new features and capabilities in Qt 5.9 have been designed to enable the effortless, streamlined development of software and devices for a wide range of industries, including the healthcare, automotive, avionics, industrial manufacturing, and home appliance and entertainment sectors.
Following are details on the primary feature sets of Qt 5.9:
