QTM featured on Linux Format disc

Yesterday I discovered that QTM had been featured on the Linux Format cover disc (edition 93, along with Startcom Enterprise Linux), one of three internet applications alongside Nvu (the Mozilla-based HTML editor) and the IRC client XChat. The version included was 0.5, the first to feature Quickpost templates, but not the latest version. I'm not sure if it was my email to them which prompted that or if they are just tracking this project; they included an earlier version way back in 2006.

However, in the magazine, they wrongly called QTM a KDE-based client. It is not, and never has been - it uses Qt 4. I am still undecided as to whether to port it to KDE 4, but I've yet to try out KDE 4 and don't know much about KDE programming in general which is much less well-documented than cross-platform Qt programming is thanks to Messrs Dalheimer, Blanchette and Summerfield. This means that you need the Qt 4 libraries to compile or run QTM; KDE, based on the Qt 3 libraries, is not sufficient.
