Earlier today, we released Qt 4.6.2 for Maemo5 to coincide with the opening of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Now I am pleased to announce that Qt 4.6.2 is also available for all of our other supported platforms.
Qt 4.6.2 provides the usual mix of bug fixes, performance improvements and documentation fixes, but it also includes two new items. The first is the aforementioned Maemo5 support graduating from Beta to Release status (note that there is a separate qt-maemo5-opensource-src-4.6.2.tar.gz source package) and the second is the Nokia Smart Installer (see blog post here for the details).
As usual, you can get all the packages from the Qt Download Page and you can read the latest documentation at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/index.html.
For those using the public git repository, a “v4.6.2″ tag will appear soon.
As always, your feedback on Qt is appreciated. If you have any comments or bug reports, we’d love to hear from you.
Please file your bug reports at: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com. If you want to contribute to Qt, all the information you need to get started can be found at: http://qt.gitorious.org.

Nice! I’m using the Qt Declarative module released in december for Qt 4.6.0 (http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/12/14/qt-declarative-for-qt-460-released/) Unfortunately, it doesn’t compile anymore neither with 4.6.1 nor 4.6.2. If you provide a new version of the module I would be more than happy and I could switch to 4.6.2. Thanks guys!
Nice! Any plans for a 64-bit mac version… would save me one afternoon of compilation on my mini
Is there a change log in the download or do you have the URL? I would like to know exactly what it fixed.
Thanks for the release!
“…and you can read the latest documentation at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/index.html .”
Speaking of the documentation…there was a questionnaire about polishing the documentation some time ago, and the temporary (ugly and unusable compared to the earlier) documentation index and layout was released at that time. When will the new shiny documentation be released
?
There’s a change log here:
http://qt.nokia.com/developer/changes/changes-4.6.2
Are there plans to support VC++2010? Have anyone experimented compiling Qt with VC++2010RC1?
I second the comment about Qt Declarative. Should we be waiting on a new package or just building straight from Git?
The Qt Creator bundled with 4.6.2 crashes when opening a Qt for S60 project. I’ve installed the Qt 4.6.2 framework for Symbian, but haven’t been able to get rid of the crashes. To whom should I send crash reports?

It’s also kind of sluggish and using 100% CPU for minutes for example when selecting qt-configuration in options-dialog (I have 4.5.3 using visual studio, plus offcourse the new 4.6.2)
Also openig the app and scanning+indexing the project takes notably longer than with earlier release…takes system almost to it’s knees when doing that.
Using Windows XP.
Otherwise, love it
!
Since version 4.6.0, QT failed to support static build under Mac OS X.
Bug reports were filed. But you simply close them claiming that you solved the bugs.
The truth is that, 4.6.2 continues to fail at static build (Mac OS X).
Do you guys close bug reports while sleeping?

Ok. At the startup it tries to connect to 87.238.50.182, which is: http://blog.qt.nokia.com/
Now my firewall blocks it by default, and that might be the cause at the startupt. What is the idea of the connection attempt? For example, if one is working offline this is an unneccesary headache. I suppose every developer finds the blog if in need
.
Actually the overall slowness (also in indexing etc) disappeared after i let the QtCreator satisfy it’s internet connection desires.
@Chris: Please report your crash with detials here: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ (if it is not yet reported)
@jodyfanning @diego: there will be another QtDeclarative release for the 4.6 series. As per the DeclarativeUI blog, we’re now also maintaining it in the 4.7 series, so it will be a little lagged for 4.6.
@Chris: your crash might be the one described in http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/02/22/qt-sdk-201002-reloaded/
