585-566: Is difficult for the average user. ... The ability to make such comparisons easily in software formats ... makes the need for an English translation specifically designed for such comparison even more acute. The LEB is relatively literal and was derived from an interlinear translation of the Greek NT. An unusual feature of the LEB is the use of corner brackets to mark idioms in the English translation. Italics are used to indicate words supplied by

624-550: Is supported until 26 May 2025. Additionally the KDE project provides unofficial support for, at least, Qt 5.15, i.e. not just for commercial users.

858-446: The LEB's foreword, the translator's intent was to achieve: ...unparalleled ... transparency with the original language text. ... It was produced with the specific purpose of being used alongside the original language text of the Bible. Existing translations, however excellent they may be in terms of English style and idiom, are frequently so far removed from the original language texts of scripture that straightforward comparison

897-596: The Nokia Qt SDK was released on 23 June 2010. The source code was made available over Gitorious, a community oriented git source code repository, with a goal of creating a broader community using and improving Qt. On 14 January 2009, Qt version 4.5 added another option, the LGPL , to make Qt more attractive for both non-GPL open source projects and closed applications. In February 2011, Nokia announced its decision to drop Symbian technologies and base their future smartphones on

936-862: The Qt Designer interface builder and the Qt Assistant help browser (which are both embedded in Qt Creator), the Qt Linguist translation tool, uic (user interface compiler), and moc (Meta-Object Compiler). In the summer of 1990, Haavard Nord and Eirik Chambe-Eng (the original developers of Qt and the CEO and President, respectively, of Trolltech ) were working together on a database application for ultrasound images written in C++ and running on Mac OS , Unix , and Microsoft Windows . They began development of "Qt" in 1991, three years before

975-483: The Qt Framework is Qt 6.8, which was released on October 8, 2024. Also still supported are — for commercial users — 6.5 LTS, released on April 3, 2023, 6.2 LTS, released on 30 September 2021, and 5.15 LTS, released on 26 May 2020 – long-term support (LTS) versions are generally supported for three years with a commercial license, while 5.15 support was extended to five years for subscription license holders, and so it

1014-471: The Qt business and copyrights to their wholly owned subsidiary, The Qt Company, which owns 25 brands related to Qt. In May 2016, Digia and Qt demerged completely into two independent companies. Qt 5 was officially released on 19 December 2012. This new version marked a major change in the platform, with hardware-accelerated graphics, QML and JavaScript playing a major role. The traditional C++-only QWidgets continued to be supported, but did not benefit from

1053-476: The company was incorporated as Quasar Technologies, then changed the name to Troll Tech and then to Trolltech. The toolkit was called Qt because the letter Q looked appealing in Haavard's Emacs typeface, and "t" was inspired by Xt , the X toolkit. The first two versions of Qt had only two flavors: Qt/X11 for Unix and Qt/Windows for Windows. On 20 May 1995 Trolltech publicly released Qt 0.90 for X11/Linux with

1092-516: The creation of the KDE Free Qt foundation, which guarantees that Qt would fall under a BSD-style license should no free/open source version of Qt be released during 12 months. In 2000, Qt/X11 2.2 was released under the GPL v2, ending all controversy regarding GPL compatibility . At the end of 2001, Trolltech released Qt 3.0, which added support for Mac OS X (now known as macOS ). The Mac OS X support

Nokia focused on turning Qt into the main development platform for its devices, including a port to the Symbian S60 platform . Version 1.0 of

1170-473: The framework at that time. In March 2011, Nokia sold the commercial licensing part of Qt to Digia, creating Qt Commercial. In August 2012, Digia announced that it would acquire Qt from Nokia. The Qt team at Digia started their work in September 2012. They released Qt 5.0 within a month and newer versions every six months with new features and additional supported platforms. In September 2014, Digia transferred

1209-421: The leading desktop environments for Linux. As it was based on Qt, many people in the free software movement worried that an essential piece of one of their major operating systems would be proprietary. The Windows platform was available only under a proprietary license, which meant free/open source applications written in Qt for X11 could not be ported to Windows without purchasing the proprietary edition. With

1248-619: The open development of Qt via the Qt Project. One such Qt contributor is Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB, a Swedish Qt consulting company. KDAB is involved in many areas, including maintenance of several components. Together with RIM/BlackBerry , KDAB is maintaining the QNX and BlackBerry 10 ports of Qt. Another participator is Intel , contributing for example Wayland support. AudioCodes maintains IBM ClearCase support in Qt Creator . As

1287-437: The performance improvements available through the new architecture. Qt 5 brings significant improvements to the speed and ease of developing user interfaces. Framework development of Qt 5 moved to open governance at qt-project.org, which made it possible for developers outside Digia to submit patches for review. Aside from The Qt Company, many organizations and individuals using Qt as their development platform participate in

1326-630: The primary implementers of and contributors to the Open Scripture Information Standard (OSIS), a standardized XML language for the encoding of scripture. The software is also capable of utilizing certain resources encoded in using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) format and maintains deprecated support for Theological Markup Language (ThML) and General Bible Format (GBF). A variety of front ends based on The SWORD Project are available: And Bible, based on JSword,

1365-528: The release of version 2.0 of the toolkit in mid-1999, the license was changed to the Q Public License (QPL), a free software license, but one regarded by the Free Software Foundation as incompatible with the GPL. Compromises were sought between KDE and Trolltech whereby Qt would not be able to fall under a more restrictive license than the QPL, even if Trolltech was bought out or went bankrupt. This led to

1404-515: The software as an online platform was on 25 July 2013. The desktop version runs in any browser on the desktop computer. Additionally, the STEPBible app can be installed on an iOS device such as phones or tablets running iOS, or Android, and on a Chrome book. The SWORD Project for Windows (known internally as BibleCS ) is a Windows application built in C++Builder . Xiphos (formerly GnomeSword )

1443-519: The translator with no direct equivalent in the underlying Greek. In some instances, however, the LEB provides a dynamic equivalent for a word instead of a literal translation, without explanation. For example, in Mark 3:3 , the Greek word ἔγειρε (égeire) is translated in the LEB as "come". The literal translation should be "arise" or "get up" or "stand". The LEB does not provide any footnote or explanation as to why

1482-500: Was available only in the proprietary license until June 2003, when Trolltech released Qt 3.2 with Mac OS X support available under the GPL. In 2002, members of the KDE on Cygwin project began porting the GPL licensed Qt/X11 code base to Windows. This was in response to Trolltech's refusal to license Qt/Windows under the GPL on the grounds that Windows was not a free/open source software platform. The project achieved reasonable success although it never reached production quality. This

1521-502: Was resolved when Trolltech released Qt 4.0 also for Windows under the GPL in June 2005. Qt 4 supported the same set of platforms in the free software/open source editions as in the proprietary edition, so it is possible, with Qt 4.0 and later releases, to create GPL-licensed free/open source applications using Qt on all supported platforms. The GPL v3 with special exception was later added as an added licensing option. The GPL exception allows
