Re: qwtplot3d status

[Micha B. <kri...@us...>]

Hallo Todd and all,

Since around 2 days, a Qt4_ready branch exists in CVS. This is a
refactorized version of 0,2.4. No new functionality there, some fixed
errors only. Base library and simple plot example compile and run, but I
have still some problems with moc generated code for the other examples.
Anyway, the code is Qt3 and Qt4 ready. I have still to set up my main
example to test some things more intensely. Reason for this intermediate
step is the current (not very amusing, to be honest) state of Qt4. This
way I have a testbed for this Qt version.

That said, after almost a year I have finally found some time to
continue with qwt3d version 0.3 more evenly. Please understand that I
resist to add very much regarding timelines at this moment (having done
so in the past was no good idea). I'm a freelancer with varying
contracting commitments and what is good for making my life, might turn
out bad for writing Open Source :-( For the next months it seems still
to be a rather healthy equilibrium, so expect to hear more (and more
specific) from my side.

Anyway, first step is the release of 0.2.5 (see above). Version numbers
0.2.6 - 0.2.9 are reserved for bug fixes in this branch. When 0.2.5 is
out (should I say, I plan it for this week ;), main work is on 0.3 - also
with a common code base for Qt3/4. The examples there still have no high
priority for me for the present. One implication is, that testing for
the main branch will be carried out for Qt3 primarily in the beginning.
The Qt4 variant might go down to 'base library compilation only'
temporarily. Please understand, that I need a stable Qt code base for
feature testing.
