When will the Qt 5.9 Beta be released?

@J.Hilk
So should I link a repository to M-T there. These are very new for me and never have used them and have zero info. If they are not simple I stick to online installer.And what is Qt 5.9 Beta snapshot!!? (snapshot!)
Is it exactly working as a new version of qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.8.0 ?@tomy
I don't think you can do that retroactive.
Have you ever used the QtInstallerFramework? Qt itself is packed/shipped with that framework.With it you create distinct offline and online installers and once created, its created.
Maybe you can simply change the *.exe or something. I would suggest sticking to the Online-Installer that you downloaded :-)

Q: What's that?
A: It's blue light.
Q: What does it do?
A: It turns blue. -

Yes I've used QtInstallerFramework and I installed it as a separate program for my 5.8.OK, to sum up:
1- I uninstall Qt 5.8 totally
2- Install 5.9 as below and then QtInstallerFramework program near qt.
OK?you don't have to uninstall 5.8 if you don't want to. You can have multiple Versions of Qt installed simultaneously on your PC ( 5.8, 5.9, 5.1, 4.8 ...) its usually just a matter of HD-Space.

But why should I have these!?
When I have a new version so it normally includes all features of previous versions + some new ones too. -

So apparently 5.9 is not as stable and reliable as 5.8 yet. So I wait until some time later and then check the online installer. I think it's a good idea.
One thing that is odd to me is the term "Beta snapshot" for 5.9. It makes me have doubts about it! :-)

Don't be intimidated by the term snapshot, The fact that it is already in Beta means it's pretty close to be released. Snapshot just means some thing might still be added or removed form the final release.

Good.
When will the "final release" be released? -
