available in the <i>Qt</i> namespace. Starting with Qt 4.7.1, the elements are also available in the <i>QtQuick</i> namespace, which improves naming consistency, and allows the development of Qt Quick to occur at a faster rate than Qt's usual minor release schedule.</p> <p>The change for developers is very simple - where you previously wrote <i>import Qt 4.7</i>, just replace it with <i>import QtQuick 1.0</i>, like this:</p> <pre class="cpp"> import <span class="type">QtQuick</span> <span class="number">1.0</span> Text { text: <span class="string">"Welcome to QtQuick 1.0!"</span> }</pre> <p><i>import Qt 4.7</i> continues to work so existing applications won't break even if they aren't updated, but it is recommended that all import statements be modified to the new form.</p> </div> <!-- @@@qtquick-whatsnew.html --> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ft"> <span></span> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <p> <acronym title="Copyright">©</acronym> 2013 Digia Plc and/or its subsidiaries.
