Introduced<\/a><\/noindex> release of the build tool Qbs 1.14<\/a><\/noindex>. This is the first release after the Qt Company's departure from the project's development, prepared by the community interested in continuing Qbs development. Qbs requires Qt as one of its dependencies, although it is designed to organize the build of any projects. Qbs uses a simplified version of QML to define build scripts, allowing the specification of quite flexible build rules, where external modules can be connected, JavaScript functions can be used, and custom build rules can be created.<\/p>\n

The script language used in Qbs is adapted for automating the generation and parsing of build scripts in integrated development environments. Additionally, Qbs does not generate makefiles, but rather controls the launching of compilers and linkers directly, optimizing the build process based on a detailed graph of all dependencies. Having initial data on the structure and dependencies in a project allows for effective parallel execution of operations across multiple threads. For large projects consisting of many files and subdirectories, the performance of incremental rebuilds using Qbs can surpass make by several times \u2014 rebuilds are executed almost instantaneously and do not waste the developer's time waiting. <\/p>\n

Let's recall that a year ago, the Qt Company made<\/a><\/noindex> the decision to discontinue Qbs development. Qbs was developed as a replacement for qmake, but ultimately it was decided to use CMake as the main build system for Qt in the long term. The development of Qbs is now continued in the form of an independent project, supported by the community and interested developers. The infrastructure of the Qt Company is still being used for development. Support for Qbs 1.14.0 is built into Qt Creator 4.10.1, and the next release, Qbs 1.15, is expected to coincide with Qt Creator 4.11.<\/p>\n
