Especially, we have concentrated on the improved user experience in this version.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Component search&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many users have reported it is difficult to find a certain component on the component selection page. The number of components and Qt versions is quite big. We have added a feature to search for components to make it easier for users to find the right one without browsing the whole selection tree.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-component-search.png?width=419&amp;name=ifw-component-search.png\" alt=\"ifw-component-search\" width=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-component-search.png?width=210&amp;name=ifw-component-search.png 210w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-component-search.png?width=419&amp;name=ifw-component-search.png 419w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-component-search.png?width=629&amp;name=ifw-component-search.png 629w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-component-search.png?width=838&amp;name=ifw-component-search.png 838w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-component-search.png?width=1048&amp;name=ifw-component-search.png 1048w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-component-search.png?width=1257&amp;name=ifw-component-search.png 1257w\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Component search in action. Searching for virtual keyboard.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updated translations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Translations are updated for several languages to allow users to install Qt with their languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Default button<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We have fixed the default button on some pages. The default button is now next if the user presses on the enter key rather than some other button on the page. This improves the navigation experience with the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About application menu<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We have added a standard About application menu and dialog to quickly check, on which Qt and Installer Framework the installer is based on. This helps the bug reporting among other things.&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-about.png?width=464&amp;name=ifw-about.png\" alt=\"ifw-about\" width=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-about.png?width=232&amp;name=ifw-about.png 232w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-about.png?width=464&amp;name=ifw-about.png 464w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-about.png?width=696&amp;name=ifw-about.png 696w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-about.png?width=928&amp;name=ifw-about.png 928w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-about.png?width=1160&amp;name=ifw-about.png 1160w, https:\/\/www.qt.io\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/ifw-about.png?width=1392&amp;name=ifw-about.png 1392w\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>About Application dialog, showing Qt and IFW versions.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The minimum required Qt version has been updated to Qt 5.15.2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The libarchive sources have been updated to the 3.5.2 release. Now,&nbsp;<em>libarchive<\/em>&nbsp;is able to handle 7z archives and uncompressed tar archives as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to make a case-sensitive&nbsp;<strong>search<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>list<\/strong>&nbsp;command in the command line interface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installer Framework users may benefit from a feature, which allows moving a tree node and its child components to a new position in the tree. This makes it easier to organize nodes in the component tree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/code.qt.io\/cgit\/installer-framework\/installer-framework.git\/tree\/Changelog\">Changelog<\/a>&nbsp;for a complete list of changes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to get the IFW and the installer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Precompiled binaries for the Installer Framework can be downloaded from Qt Online Installer, sources and binaries can be found also on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qt.io\/offline-installers?hsLang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Qt Download page<\/a>&nbsp;(open source) or in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/login.qt.io\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Qt Account&nbsp;<\/a>for commercial users.
