A.NNOUNCE: QextMDI-1.0.0 out now

Message 1 in thread

Hi Qt- and KDE-programmers,

================================================================
QextMDI library version 1.0.0 (release)
================================================================
It's a Qt-extension widget set for MDI that is an alternative to
QWorkspace:

1.) Compared to QWorkspace your application is configurable in several
    modes 
    -   MDI like MSWindows standard
    -   Unix-like with all windows as toplevel (like Emacs, gimp)
2.) You can compile QextMDI as KDE2 extension library. Then it bases on
    KMainWindow and kdeui.so.
3.) You can decorate the MDI views with Win9x, KDE1 and default-KDE2
    windowmanager style.
4.) Dock/Undock feature, Positioning algorithms, more access to internal
    methods.


LICENCE: LGPL
