Announce: QtAda 1.0.2

[Vadim Godunko]

We are pleased to announce QtAda 1.0.2 release. This release includes
fixes for critical bugs and workarounds for the GNAT compiler's bugs.
Full list see at the end of this mail.

QtAda is an Ada2005 language bindings to the Qt libraries and a set of
useful tools. QtAda allows easly to create cross-platform powerful
graphical user interface completely on Ada 2005. QtAda applications
will work on most popular platforms -- Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X,
Linux/Unix -- without any changes and platform specific code. QtAda
allows to use all power of visual GUI development with Qt Designer on
all software lifecycle stages -- from prototyping and up to maintanace.
QtAda is not just a bindings to the existent Qt widgets, it also
allows to develop your own widgets and integrates it into the Qt
Designer for high speed visual GUI development.

QtAda can be downloaded from:

http://www.qtada.com/

New in QtAda 1.0.2:

 - add support for QSignalMapper, QMdiArea, QMdiSubWindow, QToolButton
classes

 - extend support for QCoreApplication, QAbstractItemModel,
QAbstractTableModel, QAbstractListModel, QCoreApplication,
QDialogButtonBox, QFrame, QLabel, QListView, QMenuBar, QModelIndex,
QObject, QWidget

 - provide workaround for GNAT bugs (finalization list corruptions for
objects allocated with anonymous access type)

 - amoc diagnostic messages translated to English

 - add check for Accessibility support in the installed Qt version

 - many memory corruptions and subprogram's profile mismatch fixes for
the QAbstractItemModel class

 - memory corruption in the bindings for QMouseEvent::buttons

 - usage of deallocated memory for all QObject subclasses' directors

Which compiler version are you use? Seems like your compiler doesn't
properly understand extended return statement.

Yes, I think that explains it.

gnat-4.3 is has been in Debian unstable since last week; it should
percolate into Ubuntu at some point if hasn't already.  You might want
to try that (in a chroot if you don't want to disturb your system).

So, packages from Debian unstable (not testing) will be included in
Ubuntu (7.10 or 8.04?)?

I don't know; ask the Ubuntu developers.  They usually take packages
from Debian unstable and freeze them a little while before their
scheduled release, making bug fixes as they deem necessary.  However,
I plan my work according to Debian's release schedule, not Ubuntu's,
so when Ubuntu releases it may contain packages that are really
unstable.

Will it be included in Debian Lenny?

Yes.  The plan is to make gnat-4.3 the default Ada compiler in Lenny,
and to compile all other Ada packages with it.  See my announcement on
this newsgroup from a couple of weeks ago.

Ludovic are right, your compiler is too old. QtAda 1.0.x requires at
least GNAT GPL 2007. QtAda 1.1.x will requires at least GCC 4.3.0.

Well in my assessment, GCC 4.3 is roughly equivalent to GNAT GPL 2007
as far as Ada is concerned, so I'm not sure what you mean.  Would you
please explain?

GCC 4.3 not same with GNAT GPL 2007. They are different not only in
backend code generator, but also in Ada frontend. GCC GNAT 4.3 has
many bug fixes, but also has many new bugs.
