Nokia has recently announced the availability of Qt 4.5, a major update of the popular cross-platform application and UI framework and the Qt Creator, a new lightweight cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

This release also marks an important milestone for the open source community. For the first time Qt will include the LGPL licensing option to go along with the Commercial License and GPL licensing options currently available.

In addition to the new product releases and licensing changes, Qt Software is also introducing a new flexible technical support package for LGPL and GPL license users. Developers using these licenses will now be able to purchase technical support from Qt Software.

Jbarron from the Trolltech Labs has posted up an interesting piece on about latest Qt release while the Espen takes you on a detailed video walk through the Garden (release) demoed on Nokia 5800 XM.
