Rename Qt 5 download links?

JKSH

Currently, the Qt 5 links are called "Qt libraries 5.0.0", and placed under the "Qt Library" section with the Qt 4.x links.

However, since those links actually provide the full Qt 5 SDK, it's good to move them to a new "Qt SDK" section, to show that it's more 'complete' than the Qt 4.x downloads

this was requested already http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/web/2012-December/000017.html

We could make a sticky post in the general forum highlighting the issue. Since I am not on Qt 5 yet, I was not aware of this possibility.
Would that work?

Moderators seem to have the right. However, I have never tried so far.

I have added a "sticky post":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/23152/ for the time being.

Please check it out and add missing or wrong information.

I would assume that the sticky switch of the post can be removed some time early next year when the webpage is updated accordingly.

Looks complete and correct; thanks for that

http://qt-project.org/downloads has been updated .. please check and remove the sticky post if needed.

Hey Sergio,

are these changes in response to https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTWEBSITE-494 ?

Hi Lukas,

sort of .. I was not aware of that task. it seems like we still need to say something about the source packages.

other than that (even though is not perfect) .. does it look better ?

lgeyer

It does.

The task is more of a collection of 'pitfalls' which have come up here at the forums.

I have removed the sticky mark on the post in question. The download page seems to reflect the same as the summary in that post.

Is there a proposed date for an SDK release available?

With SDK I mean either Qt5+creator+new_MinGW or Qt4+creator+new_MinGW!

Qt5+Creator+(hopefully)MinGW = Qt 5.0.1 = SDK ~ end of this month (Jan 2013)

http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/releasing/2013-January/001025.html
http://origin.releases.qt-project.org/digia/5.0.1/latest/ (sort of release candidates, does not mean that they will be released)

That sounds great. When it can be found on top of page and labeled as an SDK again it will help guiding people.
The only issue from my side would be that there is possibly still an up-to-date SDK with Qt4 missing. There are always novice coming up. They have book written for Qt4 and search for an SDK. I think they might be still considerably confused when they have to start out with a Qt5 SDK.

as far as I understand (so unofficial) .. in the future you should be able to develop using Qt 5 SDK for both Qt 5 and Qt 4, to help you start with Qt (using the Qt4 books) as well as to port your apss from Qt4 to Qt5.

also as far as I understand (unofficial again) .. the old Qt 4 SDK is a Nokia SDK .. so not part of the Qt Project, which means that the Qt Project can't release a new version of it
