gLabels-qt is the development version of the next major version of gLabels (4.0).

• Based on the Qt5 framework.
• Updated UI based on typical workflows.
• Intended to be a cross-platform application.
  • So far, it has been built and tested under Linux, Windows 7, and Windows 10. (Windows testing is still very intermittent.)

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

• Optional Evolution and VCard backends.
• An online manual

There are currently no official releases of gLabels 4.

Continuous integration snapshots are not official releases. These snapshots represent the latest bleeding-edge development (unstable) code. Please, DO NOT use it in a production environment. Do not expect compatibility or consistency of features between snapshots.

• Linux Build Instructions
• Windows Build Instructions
• Mac Build Instructions (TBD)

• Help is needed to add support to build and package glabels for various platforms and packaging systems. These include

  • Windows (VisualStudio)
  • Windows (MINGW)
  • Mac
  • Linux (flatpak)
  • Linux (snap)

• Help is needed writing online documentation.

• Help is needed writing translations.

• Suggestions.
