ShapeshifteR is committed to providing the best possible product to its customers. Nokia's exciting decision to license Qt 4.5 under LGPL has allowed us to take the important decision to migrate koala's user interface to this powerful technology. This move will simultaneously enhance koala and allow you to use it across the full range of platforms, including Linux and Solaris.
