Hi,
With most of the buzz naturally around Qt 5 it is good to remember that our
users are still with Qt 4 and many have not yet even migrated to 4.8.
We have already changed the copyrights in gitorious, but also wanted 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 wanted to include these as well.
We have created Qt 4.6.5 and 4.7.6 release candidates 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 do not want to add other than important security fixes and mandatory
copyright changes in order not to cause regressions.
The release candidates are available at
http://releases.qt-project.org/digia/4.6.5_RC/ and
http://releases.qt-project.org/digia/4.7.6_RC/
(if problems with files visibility try
http://origin.releases.qt-project.org/digia/4.6.5_RC/ and
http://origin.releases.qt-project.org/digia/4.7.6_RC/ )
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
Please have a look and tell if you find any issues. We hope to have the
official release done early January if these release candidates are found good.
