QtCreator 4.6 Branch on GitHub shows wrong version

[walteste]

If you check the file qtcreator.pri on Github "https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator/blob/4.6/qtcreator.pri", you'll find the following content:

QTCREATOR_VERSION = 4.5.83
QTCREATOR_COMPAT_VERSION = 4.5.83
VERSION = $$QTCREATOR_VERSION
QTCREATOR_DISPLAY_VERSION = 4.6.0-rc1
QTCREATOR_COPYRIGHT_YEAR = 2018
BINARY_ARTIFACTS_BRANCH = master

It seems to me that this code does not match the code for the released version of QtCreator 4.6. Where can I find the correct code for 4.6?

Hi @walteste,

QTCREATOR_DISPLAY_VERSION = 4.6.0-rc1

That's only a release candidate commit on a work-in-progress (pre-release) branch, not a released tag. Qt's Github repos lag a little behind the official code, which is at code.qt.io, so see:

• http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/qtcreator.pri?h=4.6 (branch)
• http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/qtcreator.pri?h=v4.6.0 (tag)
• http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/qtcreator.pri?h=v4.6.1 (tag)

Cheers.

Hi,

The sources on code.qt.io are the reference for Qt related code. Github is only a mirror.
