What exactly is the difference between this canvas tracking tech and cookies, flash cookies, and panopticlick? That just sounds like FUD because people are just learning about this.

#4I'm not too much concerned by this, but it does not sound like a good move.
> The unified web page will give a broad overview of the Qt technology, both enterprise and open-source, from a technical, business and messaging perspective.
So, the new web page will still have to be fragmented, because it has to serve open source and business visitors. Who speak a completely different language and look for different information.
Might be a good thing if it leads to a better website, might reflect good changes, but that alone sounds rather complicated. In my eyes it is not bad to have a fragmentation between sites targeting business users and those who do not, and it seems sound to have the one for business users in the reign of the company.
The new company seems to be the real news (at least it was new to me), that Qt will be managed by a company focussing solely on Qt.

blocked by disconnect.me , just as the rest of this tracking bullshit.

Yeah, but the new company will be 100% owned by Digia.
So basically this is a nice move from Digia to consolidate its ownership and leadership of Qt.
I guess its similar to what Google does.

#7Qt always seems like a thing that has so much potential, but whenever I use it I'm struck by how it never seems quite good enough. 5 seems a big imporvement on 4 though, so we'll see.

#8Just great. As if their licensing cost wasn't high enough, this will probably make it way worse.

I agree, and I wonder how much further ahead it would be if they'd switched to the current licensing scheme years earlier.
Other than writing native for each platform, which I don't have time to do, I haven't seen any good alternatives to Qt. And I'm not going back to MFC.

I'm wondering what you mean by "not quite good enough". It's by far the best UI toolkit out there and a very high quality application toolkit.
It has shortcomings, but to the point it's unusable?
