*******************************************************************************
## What is gLabels-qt?
gLabels-qt is the development version of the next major version of gLabels (a.k.a. glabels-4).
## What's new in gLabels 4?
- A complete rewrite, based on the Qt6 framework.
- A new UI layout based on common activities.
- Cross-platform support
- User-defined variables
- Support for continuous-roll labels
- Many new product templates
## Download
### Latest Release
There are currently no official releases of gLabels 4.
### Continuous Integration Snapshots
Currently there are no self-hosted binary snapshot releases available. I plan to make these available again once 4.0 is more imminent. In the mean time, I encourage you to try building the code yourself.
Some third-party packages may be available available:
