| <time>Apr 25, 2023 by Christian Kandeler</time> | ||
| <article class="content blog"> | ||
| <p>The <a href="http://qbs.io">Qbs build tool</a> version 2.0.0 is available.</p> | ||
| <h2 id="whats-new">What’s new</h2> | ||
| <p>If this release looks a bit short on features, that’s because a lot of work was spent on one | ||
| rather daunting task, namely:</p> | ||
| <h3 id="new-javascript-backend">New JavaScript backend</h3> | ||
| <p>When the deprecation of QtScript was announced for Qt 6, we quickly started looking for a | ||
| light-weight replacement for our JavaScript backend, as the prospect of maintaining QtScript | ||
| with its complex JavaScriptCore dependency ourselves did not seem particularly appealing. However, | ||
| none of the candidates offered an API to intercept property accesses, which we absolutely require | ||
| for performance reasons. That changed when <a href="https://bellard.org/quickjs/">QuickJS</a> came along, so | ||
| we could finally start porting, and just a couple of <del>days</del> <del>weeks</del> months later we had a | ||
| functional new backend.</p> | ||
| <p>From a user’s point of view, there should not be any noticeable changes; in particular, the | ||
| performance appears to be about the same. However, QtScript was rather forgiving about accepting | ||
| undefined values in contexts where it didn’t have to, so the new implementation might uncover | ||
| some glitches in your projects.</p> | ||
| <p>As a final point, the magnitude of this change gave us an excuse to bump the major version number, so we did.</p> | ||
| <h3 id="removal-of-qmake-project-files">Removal of qmake project files</h3> | ||
| <p>With our cmake project files having been feature complete for a while now (not to mention the | ||
| qbs ones), the qmake project files became mostly a maintenance burden and were removed.</p> | ||
| <h2 id="whats-kinda-new">What’s kinda new</h2> | ||
| <p>Some more relevant changes since our last blog post:</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>The new <a href="https://qbs.io/docs/jsextension-host/">Host</a> extension offers information about | ||
| the host system. Most of its functions used to be properties of the qbs module, but did not | ||
| belong there.</li> | ||
| <li>The new <a href="https://qbs.io/docs/qml-qbsmodules-sanitizers-address/">Sanitizers.address</a> module | ||
| provides <a href="https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer">ASAN</a> support for projects | ||
| in a convenient manner.</li> | ||
| <li>The FileInfo extension has an executableSuffix function now.</li> | ||
| <li>ModuleProvider items now support Probes.</li> | ||
| <li>We added support for the OpenWatcom toolchain.</li> | ||
| <li>Android multi-arch packages are supported again wth Qt >= 6.3.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| <h2 id="whats-next">What’s next</h2> | ||
| <p>While it’s still a couple of months away, we can already say that the 2.1 release will see a | ||
| long-overdue rewrite of our project resolving code. If you think that’s irrelevant to you as a | ||
| user, you might be surprised by the performance implications. More details in the next blog post.</p> | ||
| <h2 id="try-it">Try it</h2> | ||
| <p>Qbs is available for download on the <a href="https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qbs/1.23.0">download | ||
| page</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>Please report issues in our <a href="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QBS/">bug tracker</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>Join our <a href="https://discord.gg/zhMHvC5GNa">Discord server</a> for live discussions.</p> | ||
| <p>The <a href="https://qbs.io/docs/index.html">documentation</a> | ||
| and <a href="https://wiki.qt.io/Qbs">wiki</a> are also good places to get started.</p> | ||
| <p>Qbs is also available from a number of package repositories | ||
| (<a href="https://chocolatey.org/packages/qbs">Chocolatey</a>, | ||
| <a href="https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=qbs">MacPorts</a>, | ||
| <a href="https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qbs">Homebrew</a>) and is updated on each | ||
| release by the Qbs development team. It can also be installed through | ||
| the native package management system on a number of Linux distributions. | ||
| Please find a complete overview on | ||
| <a href="https://repology.org/project/qbs/versions">repology.org</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>Qbs 2.0.0 is also included in Qt Creator 10.0.0.</p> | ||
| <h3 id="contribute">Contribute</h3> | ||
| <p>If You are a happy user of Qbs, please tell others about it. But maybe you would | ||
| like to contribute something. Everything that makes Qbs better is highly | ||
| appreciated. Contributions may consist of reporting bugs or fixing them right | ||
| away. But also new features are very welcome. Your patches will be automatically | ||
| sanity-checked, built and verified on Linux, macOS and Windows by our CI bot. | ||
| Get started with instructions in the <a href="https://wiki.qt.io/Qbs">Qbs Wiki</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>Thanks to everybody who made the 2.0 release happen:</p> | ||
