Here's a pretty exciting news for developers. Qt, the cross-platform application and user interface framework, is available in version 4.8.0 under fedora 16. The new Ot has the threaded OpenGL support. Under Fedora 16 , we have the development packages:

(1/2): libXv-devel-1.0.6-2.fc15.i686.rpm                 |  38 kB     00:00     
(2/2): qt-devel-4.8.0-0.23.rc1.fc16.i686.rpm             |  10 MB     00:03 

We expect developers will use this functionality to create new graphics applications.
