Hello everybody. As you may have noticed, there's a new branch 2.1 in the git repository.
The plan is to have the Qt Creator 2.1.x releases from this branch at some point of time, and we are right now in a feature freeze for the 2.1.0 release. New development is supposed to go to the master branch, fixes to 2.1, which is roughly daily merged back into master. In theory there should not be much master-only activity right now. When released, Qt Creator 2.1.0 will require Qt 4.7.1 because of two sets of features/fixes that are not present in Qt 4.7.0. The first one concerns QML, the second one affects the performance of the syntax highlighter. While the new semantic syntax highlighter (introduced after 4.7.0 was branched) works with Qt 4.7.0 it triggers too many updates causing stress to the hardware. So we have the following situation currently: Qt Creator Qt Syntax Highlighting QML Compiles branch branch approach performance 2.0.1 4.7.0 old good some yes 2.0.1 4.7 old good some yes 2.1 4.7.0 new bad more yes 2.1 4.7 new good more yes [*] master 4.7.0 new bad more maybe master 4.7 new good more maybe The Qt Creator 2.1 branch/Qt 4.7 branch combination is currently the recommended way to use Creator-from-source for people that like to stay close to the bleeding edge. It's also what the nightly snapshots today and during the next few weeks will use.
