Sounds like a good plan to me. So for pre-releases, I will upload the installer and I will not upload the bundle or the source code. And for the final release, I will upload the installer and the bundle (but still not the source code). What about RC? Should we upload the bundle for RC? > I compiled using Qt 4.8.7. OK good to know. One last question before I upload: could you please send by email the MD5 sums of the files that I should upload (so in this case it will be just the MD5 sum for the installer but for the final release I will also want the MD5 sum for the bundle)? I'm sorry for this extra step, which I don't think you had to do before, but I would feel much more confident that your upload to FTP was not corrupted and my download from your FTP was not corrupted. Ideally, you would create a PGP key and you would sign the files that you upload. This is easy to do. It does take some time for the initial set up but after that it is very quick. If you happen to be interested in doing this (as opposed to sending the MD5 sums), please let us know and we would be happy to help get you set up. Thanks, Scott
