[Qt-creator] Last two weeks in creator

[Tobias Hunger]

Hello!

Sorry, we skipped reporting last week, so you will get two weeks worth 
of updates this time:

General:

  * Detachable help mode was added

  * Mayor refactoring of deployment related code:
     * Add explicit Deploy action
     * Deploy dependent projects (assuming all have the correct
       deployment configuration active)
     * Can deploy library projects

  * moc Warnings should no longer get displayed as errors by the
    build issue view.

  * New IntelliJ-inspired color scheme was added.

  * Block selection code was improved (still some issues on the Mac!)

  * Small bugs were fixed here and there, check the bugtracker at
    http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ for details.


C++ code model:

  * The semantic highlighter was made less resource hungry

  * Memory usage of the code model was optimized.

  * Highlighting of virtual functions, member variables, etc. is now
    enabled


QML Support:

  * Image, BorderImage support and preview for Quick ToolBar

  * Bug fixes and improvements to the QML observer:
     * selections work better,
     * icons and crumble path are used to show where the user is
     * warnings are now displayed if a change to a qml file can not
       get applied to the running qml app


Qt Simulator:

  * Symbian softkey buttons are now simulated.


Maemo:

  * Maemo devices can now be configured to access directories on the
    development computer, saving time to copy files at deployment time.

  * Maemo can now be configured to debug using on-device gdb now or
    the gdbserver (used so far).

  * Maemo packaging improvements


Symbian:

  * Silent installation can now get disabled. A "loud" installation is
    now tried whenever a silent installation fails.

  * Users can now select the drive to install packages on.

  * Passphrases for signing keys are supported:

     * A simple password manager is used to store passphrases. The
       passphrase store is *not encrypted*! Use it only when you can
       be sure the computer used to store the passwords is safe.

     * A dialog is popped up to request passphrases when needed (and not
       available in the password manager).

As always all these changes are available in the master branch available at:

     http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator

Best Regards,
Tobias
