Most of the issues will be addressed in - upcoming snapshots and beta releases. We hope that all the issues should be - addressed by the time the of the final 4.5.0 release. - - \tableofcontents - - \section1 What Works - - Here are the things that we can say about the current state of the Qt/Mac Cocoa port. - - \list - \i \e{64-bit Support}: - The Qt libraries currently do build and link as 64-bit frameworks and it is - possible to build and run many of the Qt examples as 64-bit. - - \i \e{HIViews are now NSViews}: - Every QWidget is now backed by an NSView pointer instead of an HIViewRef. - QWidget::winId() will return an NSView pointer that can be used in other - Cocoa technologies (e.g., Core Animation). - - \i \e{Some Native Dialogs Work}: - QFileDialog and QColorDialog have been ported to use NSOpen-/NSSavePanel and - NSColorPanel respectively. QPrintDialog and QPageSetupDialog are not in - this release, but are on their way. Currently, none of these dialogs show - up as sheets pending the creation of an asynchronous API. - - \i \e{Painting, Printing, and Styles}: - Since printing and painting used Quartz 2D and styling used HITheme, these - sub-systems work without any changes. - - \i \e {OpenGL}: - OpenGL is fully supported,including pixel buffers and framebuffer objects. - - \i \e{Clipboard}: - Using QClipboard to copy and paste data works as expected. - - \i \e{Mouse, Keyboard, and Wheel events}: - Mouse, keyboard, and wheel events are dispatched to the proper - widget. The Qt/Mac Cocoa port respects Cocoa's idea of a "First - Responder." - - \endlist - - \section1 Current Known Issues - - The following are items that don't currently work, but that we plan to have - resolved before the final release of the Qt/Mac Cocoa port. Please do not - file bugs on these. - - \list - \i \e{Carbon Support}: - The current source tree for the Qt/Mac Cocoa port contains source for - building Qt/Mac with Cocoa. It contains some of the source code that is - used for the Carbon port, but it is currently not set up to build the - Carbon Qt/Mac libraries. Please use a normal release or snapshot if you - want to use Carbon. - - \i \e{Drag and Drop Support}: - Drag and Drop is currently not implemented and needs to be ported to Cocoa, - but using the clipboard does work at this time. - - \i \e {Accessibility}: - Accessibility support is not implemented and needs to be ported to Cocoa. - - \i \e {Text}: - Most text rendering works fine for Latin-1 characters. However, rendering - non-Latin-1 characters has not been tested. - - \i \e {Input Methods}: - Input methods also need to be ported to Cocoa. - - \i \e {Shortcuts}: - Shortcuts that exist outside of the menu bar may not be dispatched. - - \i \e {Tablet Support}: - The tablet support has not been ported from Carbon yet. However, it should - still be possible to use the tablet as a mouse. - - \i \e {Phonon}: - Phonon uses the QuickTime backend that is only available on 32-bit. Using - Phonon in 64-bit requires a QTKit-based backend and has not been done. - - \i \e {Unified Toolbar}: - The QMainWindow::setUnifiedTitleAndToolBarOnMac() method currently does nothing. - - \i \e {Dialogs, Tool Windows, Sheets, and Drawers}: - At the moment, all windows are subclasses of NSWindow. This means that - window types like drawers and sheets do not work and tool windows do not - get the right decorations. Modal dialogs do show up at the correct window - level, but are not yet considered "panels." Many window flags are not - recognized. - - \endlist - - \section1 Things We Don't Expect to Support - - The following items that we do not plan on spending any resources on unless - there is monumental outcry for their inclusion. - - \list - \i \e{Qt3Support}: - At this time we have no plans for making the Qt3Support module work with - the Qt/Mac Cocoa port in 64-bit mode. Following in footsteps of Apple, we - would like to encourage you to consider the time of going Cocoa and 64-bit - as a chance to jettison Qt 3 constructs and classes. - - \i \e{Support for versions of Mac OS X below 10.5}: - We are using methods and classes that are only available in 10.5 and - higher. Most of these functions don't have any equivalent on earlier - versions. We recommend using the Carbon version for earlier versions of Mac - OS X. We anticipate keeping the Carbon port supported at least for the - lifetime of 4.5. - - \i \e{Support for -no-framework or -static}: - Cocoa requires that we load a nib in order to properly access the global - menu bar. This nib has to reside on disk somewhere. The most logical place - for it to reside is inside the QtGui framework. For this reason, building - Qt as standard "dylibs" or statically is no longer supported. - - \endlist - -*/ |
