    @J.Hilk said in Qt 5.9 release:

    @tomy

    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.

    Well often, you install new Qt to check if a project will work with it
    You then keep old so you can go "back" if any issues.

    For a new project, that might not be needed :)

      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! :-)

        I think beta versions is almost out, usually software release date is not that accurate. Unless Qt5 release date is much more punctual than FF15 :), I even wonder this game never exist before it really come out.

          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.

          Btw, found the offline download link

            @tomy Snapshot usually means: latest version of a development branch (latest version from 5.9 branch in this case). And yes 5.9 is not "stable" yet as it is still beta.

                        I'm sorry to interrupt the important technical discussion, but @tomy and others might be interested in the latest information: http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/releasing/2017-April/004491.html
