[Development] Qt5 Beta: any news?

[marius.storm-olsen at nokia.com]

We still need to figure out how to handle the changes file(s). I think we do need one for each module, and then we simply aggregate that into the top-level Qt directory on release generation. Also, since we want to also be able to release modules independently, this would be required.

Question about QtBase though: Should we act as if it consists of several modules and have a separate changes file for each module within? I guess that would place the changes files in <qtbase>/src/<module>?

Yes, some things have been a bit more difficult lately, so it takes longer than I had hoped for. Things are getting closer to a release, but current circumstances make it a lot harder to give an exact day. But I hope it won't be for too long anymore.

There's the changes-5.0.0 file, that should list all the incompatibilities to Qt 4.x

Cheers,
