Qt Transition – Release

The Qt transition is now complete and the implementation of the GUI can begin.  But first this is a good point to make a development release.  Release 0.2.0 was made (branch0.2 was merged to the master branch and tagged v0.2.0).

There is one issue when running the program on Windows when starting the program from Explorer.  A console window is opened underneath the GUI (About box), which is closed upon exit.  This can be removed by adding the WIN32 option to the add_executable command in the CMake build file.  However, this causes the command line options to no longer work.  This issue will be resolved later.

Archive files containing the source files and binary files (with test files) have been uploaded to SourceForge.  For Windows, there is also the ibcp‑libs.zip file that contains all the dynamic linked libraries required to run the program if the MinGW and QtSDK packages have not been installed (extract in the ibcp directory).  Linux should already have the required libraries installed.

This concludes the 0.2 development series.  Implementation of the GUI elements will now begin with the 0.3 development series.
