Since LyX is not tied to a qt version in general, I assume you mean the windows installer. I agree with Pavel here, I would not wait any longer and release the alpha now (and releasing means to publish source tarballs). If the windows installer comes later this is no problem IMHO (also for beta, and if people complain we can explain why and ask them to help or shup up). Georg
