[Releasing] Preparing 4.6.5 and 4.7.6 releases

[Turunen Tuukka]

Hi,

With most of the focus in getting 5.0.0 out it is good to remember that our users are still with Qt 4 and many have not yet migrated to 4.8.

We have already changed the copyrights in gitorious, but also want to create binary installers for latest 4.x releases to reflect the change from Nokia to Digia. In addition there are some important security fixes done after the last 4.6 and 4.7 version and we would like to include these as well.

The plan is to create new 4.6.5 and 4.7.6 releases that bring the following changes over the previous ones in their series.

4.6.5:
    - Disable SSL compression by default.
    - Fix binary incompatibility between openssl versions
    - Change copyrights from Nokia to Digia

4.7.6:
    - Disable SSL compression by default.
    - Make the rules for redirects a bit stricter.
    - Fix binary incompatibility between openssl versions.
    - Change copyrights from Nokia to Digia

We hope to be able to release these still in December, unless it gets too close to the holidays in which case it is safer to issue these in beginning of January.

You can check the release content from https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commits/4.6-digia and https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commits/4.7-digia

Yours,
