This is to announce the upcoming major OSD development milestone, migrating the OSD to Qt. As many of you already know, the Qt application framework and Qt based OSD applications have already begun to appear on the software trunk at svn.neurostchnology.com.

Compared to the existing compact Neux (Neuros application framework based on Nano-X) system, the upcoming Qt support will advance OSD development to an exciting new level, with the much more comprehensive, flexible and robust Qt platform. Qt will not only boost development performance on OSD, it will also greatly improve the cross-platform application support on OSD. With OSD Qt development, more extensive OSD functionality and dramatically broader 3rd party application support on OSD are on the way.

OSD Qt development will be based on Qtopia-core, structured with a window manager server application, with major functionality and features coming as standalone applications. This gives the system the most flexibility and expandability as 3rd party applications can be brought up
from any storage media that OSD has access to.

Below are several important notes in regard to this milestone change,

1. Release plan
Daily developer releases have been available for some time, with limited multi-media functionality support. Beta releases with full multi-media support will be available shortly.

2. Upgrade path and requirements
Network-based auto upgrade to this new platform-based software will be transparent. Manual upgrade uses the same process as the current system.

IMPORTANT: You will need to have a CF-card present in order to use the new software. Neuros will provide the CF-card complimentary to existing OSD users who have not received one in their package. You may request your CF card at http://www.neurostechnology.com/cf-card-request .
