QT version 4.6.2 has been ported (5/14/2010) to OS/2. This is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Applications that use QT include VirtualBox, SMPlayer, Psi, Scribus, and LyX.

Development is funded by donations from the community, and the amount of donations made so far cover the current goals, although surplus funds will be used for even further development, such as a future update to Qt version 4.7. Sponsor units can be purchased from the Mensys online shop. The QT4 runtime libraries and plugins are necessary for running programs built with the QT4 library. Included is an XCenter system tray plugin, which extends the functionality of earlier SysTray plugins. Highlights of the new version include printing support through CUPS, faster drawing using DIVE, support for WebKit, and context sensitive help.
