Support for OSX Lion full-screen mode?

Not only on the Mac, but that drove me nuts, yes, and I seriously considered staying at 4.7.3 (as 4.7.4 has a serious bug in QTextEdit).
The tarball contains bin/syncqt and bin/syncqt.sh, wich leads to build errors on windows, where you usually do not have perl installed.
My overall experience is that Qt 4 quality deteriorates with everyone being busy with Qt 5. This was not the case during the move from Qt 3 to 4.
And additionally, now with open gov in place, one could theoretically send patches much more easily than ever. Only if they wouldn't expect to send a patch against Qt 5 at first and eventually (or not, who knows?) cherry picking that for the 4.x series. Come on - as if a serious developer doing day by day business with Qt 4 is eager to setup a Qt 5 development environment only to send in a trivial patch that changes 4 lines. This can't be serious. This is surely not the way to motivate possible candidates to contribute to Qt. While developing Qt 5 is exciting for those involved, the majority of the crowd plainly doesn't care yet.

Thanks, Sean and Volker.
I agree to the sentiment that 4.x is left behind a bit. On the other hand, Lion is not officially supported in 4.8 still, and those are Lion APIs. I prefer having full Lion support in 5.0 over half done support in 4.8.
How far is Lion and it's new APIs supported in Qt 5 as of yet, does anybody know?

Honestly, I would prefer that Qt 4 would get enough love to be healthy for the next years. The migration won't be finished by 2013 and all the Qt 4 code base doesn't matter then. But I don't count too much on the community here, adding that stuff to 4 seems to be neither sexy nor fun. Hopefully Digia will be more sensitive to developers' needs here.

I can inform you that a team of engineers from Nokia and KDAB are working on Mac OSX support for Qt5. This will all be done in the public so keep an eye on the repositories.
I am not sure what is going on with Qt 4.8.
I just got a MacBook Pro too so I would also like to see the support improved ;-)

I would also like to see proper OpenGL Core Profile 3.2 support in 4.8 at present it doesn't seem to work for me (always falls back to the default 2.0) I have a work around for my own code but don't plan to move to 5.0 until the year after as I have to use it for teaching and don't like changing half way through an academic year.

Hi umm so should this be in Qt5 now? I assume this'd be referring to QWindow::showFullScreen() which certainly isnt working for me at the moment.
Although I spotted this: https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/pull/118
I'm using:
Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5
QtSDK 5.0.1- Matti
