Hi,

another point regarding releasing Qt 4.8.1 just came to my mind. We worked on 
getting the unit tests released alongside the sources a while ago, but it was 
too late for 4.8.0. Will this happen for 4.8.1?

The reasons for that would be mostly to let Linux distributions run the tests 
in order to discover problems with their setup. I spoke with Ubuntu people and 
the feedback was that they would integrate tests in their packaging, if they 
were available as tarball.

Cheers
Frederik
