Great work has been done by the Mozilla and Nokia mobile browser teams. As result we have a working Qt port based on the latest Mozilla trunk 1.9.x.
The port is fully compatible with the official Qt 4.4 release. It is also ready to run Firefox3.x and the TestQEmbed reference UI:
You can download and try this X86 build
Sources are available for checkout and building from: hg:mozilla-qt branch.

Some people may have noticed, but I'm confirming it for everyone else: MicroB has shipped as the only (and hence default...) browser with IT OS 2008.
I'd like to say this is a win for open source. MicroB is the engine used by /usr/bin/browser on IT OS and it is based on Mozilla Gecko.
There are some high points and some low points for this release.

Some of you may have noticed mail announcing changes to bugs.maemo.org that was sent out over the weekend. While this is not entirely browser related, it was done mostly by me with the hope of improving the Browser team's ability to collect, analyze and resolve bugs in MicroB. As some people know, among my other hats, I am occasionally involved in the configuration of components for another Bugzilla, and while I don't remember the absolute beginning of that Bugzilla, or its community, I'm hoping that we can grow the maemo.org community to be as active and involved as theirs.
So what changed?Posted on 08/24/2007 09:01:00 AM UTC
As I wrote in an earlier article (#2), that there are a number of ways to help the browser team improve MicroB.
The browser team and maemo.org would like to encourage contributions. To that end, I am happy to announce that I've sent George Kibardin a maemo.org t-shirt, in appreciation for the good bugs he has filed. And with the hope and expectation that we will continue to receive good reports from him.
I can't guarantee that we'll send shirts monthly, but I hope to be able to. Note that we also would like to encourage people to make patches, and code contributions, it's quite likely that the next shirt will be sent to someone for contributing a patch or two that improves our code.
