## What's new in gLabels-qt?

- Based on the Qt cross-platform framework.
- Unlike previous versions, glabels-qt is a cross-platform application.
  - So far, it has been built and tested under both Linux and Windows 7 (using MSYS/MINGW toolchain).
- Updated UI based on typical workflows.


## Status

gLabels-qt has been under off-and-on development since October 2013.
It is still missing several features to bring it in parity with glabels-3.4.  These include

- Barcode objects
- Compatability with older glabels files
- Batch mode
- Internationalization
- Custom product templates designer
- Online manual
