[17:08:55] <vladimir-minenko> can you refresh my mind which of the betas is usually going to the Qt installers?

[17:09:50] <jaheikki3> and target is to provide reqular snapshots well before official FF
[17:10:20] <vladimir-minenko> where? in the Qt installer? 
[17:10:25] <jaheikki3> yes
[17:11:51] <jaheikki3> Earlier we managed to do that but qith 6.3 we had huge problems with the dependency update round and the first public "snapshot" was the official alpha release

[17:12:35] <vladimir-minenko> ah, I see...
