Like there are new features > that we really, really need from Qt 4.8. I don't think there is a feature which is a good reason, but a "bug". I am quite sure that there are still some issues around q_delete_all and the other changes in Qt 4.8 causing regressions.
Our distributions will ship 4.8 together with 4.8 and this combination might just be untested by the maintainers. So I strongly suggest that we make Qt 4.8 a dependency for master just to get the code tested and fixed before distros use it. So unless there is a good reason why not to increase, I would like to see master depend on Qt 4.8. Cheers Martin
