[Development] New qt5.4 snapshot available

[Heikkinen Jani]

Hi all,

New Qt5.4 snapshot here:

Linux: http://download.qt-project.org/snapshots/qt/5.4/5.4.0-beta/2014-10-02_35/
Windows: http://download.qt-project.org/snapshots/qt/5.4/5.4.0-beta/2014-10-02_31/ 

Unfortunately mac ones are still missing as well as some windows ones :( Hoping we could get those already tomorrow

Please test existing installers & report new issues to Jira. And please inform me all new beta blockers, content should be pretty close to beta already now...
We are planning to have beta out as soon as possible, preferably during next week. That's why it is extremely important to check these packages & report possible new blockers. But remember, it is beta which is coming: there can & will be bad issues left to be fixed in rc: We just need to have good enough packages to be able to start testing new functionality...
