Hi all, After a too long delay, there is finally a significant new version of QML.jl, the package wrapping the Qt QML GUI toolkit. Highlights are: Switch to Qt 6 New JuliaItemModel that is compatible with QML TableView and ListView Works natively on Wayland (thanks to the fact that we are using Q…

This question is not very well-informed but maybe you can answer it. Stata is a statistical programming application built on QT. They have a built-in table viewer which is exceptional. Super snappy, even for large data sets, which gives me the impression it’s lazy, doesn’t need to copy all the data…

[image] pdeffebach: To what extent do you think the added tableview functionality in QML could be able to replicate something as useful as Stata’s features? I have never used Stata, but this description from the QML TableView leads me to believe it should be possible: " TableView inherits Fl…

A. [image] barche: Change the license to MIT Why, LGPL wasn’t outputting to me, nor should be to anyone, I think. I think it was also a good signal about what your package is built on. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not illegal to make wrappers/bindings as MIT (or some licence not same as of wrap…

Regarding the license choice, please see change license to MIT? · Issue #150 · JuliaGraphics/QML.jl · GitHub As you noted both Wayland and X11 are supported, Wayland is activated automatically by loading Qt6Wayland_jll when QML.jl detects it is running on Wayland. No user intervention should be nee…

[image] Palli: Qt for sure is free software, at least for free or GPL software. It’s a very widespread misinformation, that Qt is not free to use for businesses. It is. The LGPL 3 strictly allows for that. The people who bought Qt are simply interested that businesses buy their licenses, so…

[image] Palli: I know people who hate Wayland believe X11 API is still better. But Wayland seems like the future. If it actually supports both, do you know what it defaults to? As someone who has packaged X11, and who knows about the severe security issues with it, I think Wayland can not com…

[image] ShalokShalom: It’s a very widespread misinformation, that Qt is not free to use for businesses. It is. Qt is no-cost (for businesses or anyone), well until it isn’t, if you use too many features, if your program isn’t GPLed. “Free” has two meanings and Qt is “free software” aka libre…

[image] Palli: Qt is no-cost (for businesses or anyone), well until it isn’t, if you use too many features, You don’t “accidentally” use features. Those, who are non-free, are available by distinct libraries, that you have to buy licenses for. As an example: The Fidget and Photoshop import li…

Can this licensing discussion be taken to a separate thread, so that the focus can remain on the exciting new release here? I, for one, am very glad to see this release. QT was my first choice to create GUIs, and QML is such a pleasant way to do it. So I’m glad to see QML.jl revived and active agai…

Yes, I’m open to LGPL/Qt/QML licencing discussed elsewhere, or maybe not much more to say. I just can’t split off the discussion. I would still want this part, from the Qt website, not split off: The user of an application or device created with LGPL library has to be notified of their rights by…
