This is a heads-up to all of you building from Qt Creator from git.
As the 2.0 branch has accumulated 461 patches on top of the 2.0.0 release
we decided to have a 2.0.1 patch release rather sooner than later.
The original plan was not to have a pure "bug fix" patch release so there
is no corresponding git branch. Cherry-picking "pure" fixes and leaving out
things that might be considered "small features" proves futile at that scale,
so we decided to simply re-name the current stable 2.1.0 branch into 2.0.1
and turn off some QML features that depend on not-yet-released Qt bits.
When you were building from the 2.1.0 branch so far (that is also the
recommended, stable way to use Qt Creator from git, in conjunction
with the Qt 4.7 git branch), you can run
git fetch
git checkout -b 2.0.1 origin/2.0.1
git remote prune origin # optional, to get rid of the now stale origin/2.1.0 branch
git branch -D 2.1.0 # optional, to get rid of your local 2.1.0 branch
It is possible to enable most of the "omitted" QML bits by setting the
QTCREATOR_WITH_QML environment variable before running qmake.
People building from the experimental 'master' branch (also to be used
with the Qt 4.7 git branch) are not affected from the change. You could,
however, also run
git fetch
git remote prune origin
to get rid of the now stale origin/2.1.0 branch
The new 2.0.1 branch is closed for any development except for fixes for
release blockers. Feature development will continue in the 'master' branch.
Sorry for any inconvenience resulting from the branch renaming.
