Well, except that we don't have windows binary builds for for various reasons at the moment, we have nightly binary builds of Qt Creator master on top of Qt 4.7 (or before a release the release branches), which you could use to find the last working thing for you. (Of course you should still bug us about issues you find, increasing the chances that it will be fixed in a timely manner.) ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/snapshots The known quality of the binary snapshots is obviously that it had minimal build testing ;) >> Because most of the time when Qt Creator builds break in Qml support, it is >> because of changes in Qt/QML that don't yet have corresponding changes in Qt >> Creator. >> We already have to handle the problem that "synchronized changes" in Qt and >> Qt Creator first need the change in Qt/mainline, and only then the >> corresponding change in Qt Creator can be pushed.

I don't think that pestering is what is needed, because afaik he's got the important Job of making the CI system (more) usable for Qt already, and I wouldn't like to keep him from doing that first :) -- Eike Ziller Software Engineer Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks Nokia gate5 GmbH Firmensitz: Invalidenstr. 117, 10115 Berlin, Germany Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Berlin: HRB 106443 B Umsatzsteueridentifikationsnummer: DE 812 845 193 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Michael Halbherr, Karim Tähtivuori _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
