We've released KDDockWidgets 1.3.0! KDDockWidgets is a framework for custom-tailored docking systems in Qt.
The main highlights for this release are PySide6 and experimental QtQuick support.
The QtQuick backend isn't production ready, but you can already build with -DKDDockWidgets_QTQUICK=ON
, run the examples under examples/qtquick/dockwidgets/
and start reporting issues.
Here's the full list of changes:
DockWidgetBase::byName()
(#126)KDDockWidgets::AddingOption
has been deprecated, use KDDockWidgets::InitialVisibilityOption
insteadMainWindow::addDockWidget()
(#95)DockWidgetBase::Option_DeleteOnClose
Config::Flag_CloseOnlyCurrentTab
Flag_NativeTitleBar
not workingQQuickWidget
(#150)DockWidget::setFloatingGeometry()
(#144)Additionally, we've released version 1.2.1. It's just a bug fix release over the 1.2 branch, which is now closed.
DockWidgetBase::eventFilter()
is protected instead of private (regression vs v1.1) (#148) It's recommended that you rebuild your application when updating KDDW, as MSVC encodes private/protected in the name mangling.You can find 1.3.0 here and 1.2.1 here.
