Qt software recently released Qt Visual Studio Add-in. Does anybody know, is it a subset of Visual Studio Integration, or is there included something new? Anyone tried both?
A:
It is a full replacement.
There is no need to use the (commercial) Visual Studio Integration.
I highly recommend switching to the new Qt Visual Studio Add-in, which finally is available as version 1.0.

A:
Full replacement.
The only difference I noticed was that the Qt Designer opens in a new Window for the Open Source (LGPL/GPL) version. In a commercial license version the Qt Designer should be completely integrated.

It's a replacement, but a bit different. (It knows about precompiled headers! Finally!)

Seems to atleast suggest that there are still two different products called the add-in and the integration and that possibly the integration has more features than the integration. This probably relates to what someone else mentioned that the add-in invokes the designer whereas the integration has an integrated designer within VS.

Yes, it knows about pre-compiled headers. But there's one problem. We don't use pre-compiled headers in our projects. And with the new add-in version 1.1, everytime I add a new widget based class, all the files in the project are changed to require a pre-compiled header.
