Yesterday, Trolltech released the final version of Qt 4.4, their graphical toolkit which forms the base for, among a lot of other things, the KDE project. It still features the dual-license model (of course), so proprietary developers can license Qt, while open source developers can get a GPLd version (both GPL 2 as well as 3). Read on for a quick overview of the new features, as well as some findings by Ars Technica.

Overall, I like it as a GUI toolkit. But I don't like how it tries to replace the STL with its own counterparts, or how it uses the Meta-Object Compiler to extend the language. That, combined with its dual-licensing policy, I tend to prefer other toolkits.
. Obviously things like QString curently provide advantages, like good internationalization support. But you are locking yourself into one toolkit, which can be OK for applications, but is less nice for e.g. libraries.
Though, I have to admit this is primarily taste
