Qt 3 Applications

Beesoft Commander v2.23 released

From KDE Apps:

Version 2.23 of Beesoft Commander, a Qt-based Norton Commander-like file-manager and FTP client, has been released. Changes include a new "wipe" feature for securely deleting files (i.e. removing data rather than just designating the space as free), and the ability to stop the deletion process at any time. Screenshots are on the home page; downloads (source and TGZ binaries) here. Requires Qt 3.

Google Earth update

From KDE Apps:

A new beta version (4.0.1563-2) of Google Earth, "a free-of-charge, downloadable virtual globe program" based on satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS, which uses Qt 3 for its GUI, has been released. Downloads of stable and beta versions (free but not open source) here. (Only the beta works on Linux.)

VariCAD 3 released

From KDE Apps:

Version 3.00 of VariCAD, a commercial 2D/3D CAD app for Windows and Linux which apparently uses Qt (which version I can't find), has been released. The new version is said to have fewer dependencies than older releases and can be run on a greater number of distributions. A free download is available, but the package itself is $499 for either the Windows or the Linux version ($99 for students).

amaroK changes its name

amaroK is now Amarok - Amarok Blog

Mark Kretschmann writes about the results of the recent K3M multimedia meeting in the Netherlands; among the changes is that "amaroK" is now simply "Amarok" (capital A rather than K, for anyone listening to rather than reading this). The reasons given are the continual misspellings (particularly when the name starts a sentence) which "hurt name branding", and the capital K implying that the app is KDE-specific, when it "is intended to be a software for all desktops". The comments at Mr Kretschmann's blog at the moment all approve of the change.

ManDVD v1.8 released

From KDE Apps:

Version 1.8 of ManDVD (no home page linked), an application to "simply create DVD Vidéo", has been released. Screenshots, downloads and requirements list (this includes Qt 3) is at KDE Apps.
