[Development] Qt Online Installer and Maintenance Tool 4.0 beta released - testers wanted

2020-10-01 Thread Tino Pyssysalo
Hi all,

We are happy to announce that Qt Online Installer and Maintenance Tool 4.0 beta 
have been released.

We are about one month away from the final release, so we invite all Qt users 
to start using and
testing the new installer.

It has completely renewed CLI experience, significant performance improvements 
in terms of meta-data
download speed. Also the UI has been modified here and there based on the user 
suggestions.

Please download the installer from 
http://download.qt.io/development_releases/online_installers/ and
start using it today. The installer uses the same package repos as Installer 
3.x, so it is possible to install standard
production packages with it.

We look forward to getting your feedback. You can find ready-made links and 
further information in a
related blog post in 
https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-online-installer-4.0-beta-released

Thanks for all contributors for this – especially the development team.

Hi Tino,

The improved CLI DX is great.

I tried it out in one of my personal projects, and I can successfully
install the Qt 5.15.1 essentials for the 3 desktop platforms as part of the
project's CI run.

One thing I noticed though is that on Ubuntu (20.04) you need to `sudo
apt-get install libxkbcommon-x11-0` before the installer can run.

Otherwise the installer fails with:

  ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.0_beta-online.run: error while loading shared
libraries: libxkbcommon-x11.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

Manually installing it in the CI helps, but I suspect it better be fixed in
the installer, to convey a nicer 'first use' experience.

Regards,
Alex.
