About the Qt Version
Installing Tiled
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tiled was originally written in Java. In 2008, work began to develop a faster,
better looking, and easier-to-use version of Tiled based on the Qt framework.
This decision was made as the Qt framework has a greater feature set than is
offered by the standard Java libraries.
Tiled is available for all major operating systems and can be downloaded either
from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/releases) or from
[itch.io](https://thorbjorn.itch.io/tiled). Most Linux distributions also
package Tiled, but these packages are usually out of date so you might prefer
to use the AppImage or install Tiled through
[Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/org.mapeditor.Tiled) or
[snap](https://snapcraft.io/tiled), both of which are official releases.

### Signed Releases for macOS and Windows

Compiling
macOS builds are signed by the maintainer, Thorbjørn Lindeijer, who registered
as Apple Developer.

Windows installers are using free code signing provided by
[SignPath.io](https://signpath.io?utm_source=foundation&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=tiled),
and a free code signing certificate by the
[SignPath Foundation](https://signpath.org?utm_source=foundation&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=tiled).
