Highlights Blog Post: Release 4.0: Create Beautiful Cross-Platform Apps with Qt 6
Felgo 4.0.0 makes it possible to develop Felgo apps with all the latest features of Qt 6.4.1. The release also brings support for the CMake build system, includes a custom build of the Qt Location module and updates Felgo controls to use Qt Quick Controls 2.
Felgo 4.0.0 comes as a free update for all Felgo developers and can be installed side-by-side to Felgo 3.
You can download the Felgo 4 installer here.
The switch to Felgo 4 and Qt 6 comes with many different changes for various Qt Modules and Felgo components. The following list summarizes the most important topics:
icon property. As a result, it is now required to use a new iconType property for configuring an IconType in Felgo controls. This affects various QML types like
AppIcon, AppButton, AppCheckBox, AppActivityIndicator, ActivityIndicatorBarItem, FloatingActionButton, IconButton, IconButtonBarItem, NavigationItem or SearchBar. In addition, the Felgo Page,
ScrollIndicator and Icon types are now renamed to AppPage, AppScrollIndicator and AppIcon to avoid naming collisions with the respective Qt types:
import Felgo import QtQuick App { Navigation { NavigationItem { title: "Home" iconType: IconType.home // Change icon to iconType AppPage { // Change Page to AppPage here Column { anchors.centerIn: parent AppButton { text: "Click me" iconType: IconType.handodown // Change icon to iconType } AppCheckBox{ text: "Enabled?" iconType: IconType.adjust // Change icon to iconType } } } } } }
For detailed information on all the changes and how to migrate your Felgo 3 project, see the Felgo 4 update guide: Felgo 4 Update Guide and Project Migration for Qt 6.
Apart from the necessary changes for migration to Qt 6, the Felgo 4 release also includes new features, improvements and fixes for the Felgo SDK, which are listed in the sections below.
PendingIntent flags. No code changes are required for
existing projects using the plugin.
Component.onCompleted handler of the app window.
See the Felgo 3 Releases for more information on the currently available version of Felgo 3.
Felgo 3.10 with Qt 5.15 can still be used independent from Felgo 4. It is possible to install Felgo 3 side-by-side with Felgo 4 or other Qt installations.
You can thus keep your Felgo 3 project until you are ready to migrate to Qt 6 and Felgo 4.
