[Releasing] [Development] Making of the 4.8.2 release and getting the fixes in by 15th April

[Salovaara Akseli]

Hi all,

We are now starting to make snapshot builds for Qt 4.8.2 based on currently approved contributions. Please let us know (by sending email to releasing at qt-project.org) if there are critical contributions pending which should be definitely included into Qt 4.8.2 content.

Br,
Akseli

To get a list of pending contributions to Qt 4.8, here's the link:

http://codereview.qt-project.org/#q,project:qt/qt+status:open,n,z

There are several pagefuls of contributions pending review. So, maintainers, 
do your duty :-)

Also, while reviewing Qt 4 contributions, remember to think about Qt 5. The 
contribution must either have landed in Qt 5 already and thus contain "cherry-
picked from {SHA-1 from Qt 5}" or it must have a good explanation why it 
doesn't apply to Qt 5. The best such explanation is "it's already fixed 
differently there".
