Qt 5.5.0 has a feature freeze coming up on Feb 9.

Qt 4.8.7 snapshot builds are available here: http://download.qt.io/snapshots/qt/4.8/4.8.7/

Qt Activities

A Qt 5.4.1 branch is now available for changes targeted toward the release of 5.4.1. Current changes in 5.4 will be merged into the 5.4.1 branch on Friday, January 16.

There are no Qt updates for this week.

This is due to the holiday season and traffic on the Qt lists is quite low.

Happy New Year!

Qt Releases & Snapshots

As the year draws to a close, I thought it would be good to take a look back at some of the major events of the Qt world in 2014.

Qt is now on a regular schedule of two major releases per year. We saw Qt 5.3.0 ⁽¹⁾ come out in May and Qt 5.4.0 ⁽²⁾ in December. More minor releases occur, as needed, between the major releases.

Qt Activities
