I am in the process of building qPBReader for 626 + firmware 5.
Parts that were using QXmlQuery had to be rewritten since Qt is even more butchered with firmware 5 than it was with 4.
I am also struggling with some issues regarding the so-called SDK provided there.

libinkview.so is obviously incompatible with the one on the system image. I had to link with my system library to avoid nasty crashes. However, inkview.h seems more relevant than it was with previous SDK.
Why is there a Qt 5 delivered there since it is still Qt 4 on the system? I am really wondering what I am building against, and if the result is somehow working by pure luck.
There is no panel to display information (it is on top and does not seem to be accessible with API), DrawPanel2/4 etc. seem now irrelevant.

I am so pissed pb does not deliver something directly usable. And frankly, firmware 5 looks nice but is pure garbage.
