You used to provide 4 different packages for the 4.6 beta of the Qt SDK (and for the release candidate as well I believe), but now, I can only find one package, which is pretty much the double of the size of one of the 4 old packages. It seems that it's because of the debug libraries that are in the new package for the 4.6 Qt SDK for Mac OS X. Is that right? Also, I guess that you chose to only ship one of the two ports (Carbon and Cocoa): which one has been used for the Mac OS X package that we can download at http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-mac-os-cpp ? Can we find somewhere else the rest of the packages (for the official release, not the beta or the rc)? Also, can we safely upgrade from the 4.6rc Qt SDK to the 4.6 official release (I mean, without having to uninstall the old one first)? I tried to find the upgrade instructions in the release notes, but I couldn't find them...
