Qt 4.7.0 RC1 is now available for download from the Qt Download Page. Source packages (.zip and .tar.gz format) and binary packages (for Mac Cocoa, Mac Carbon, MinGW 4.4.0 and Visual Studio 2008) are available.
Note the naming change of Mac packages compared to Qt 4.6.x has been repeated in this second beta. This reflects the fact that Cocoa is now the primary Mac platform for Qt. Binary packages for Carbon will be discontinued from Qt 4.8 onwards, but will continue to be shipped for the remainder of the 4.7.x series.
The purpose of this release candidate is to provide quality stabilised code that is ready for the 4.7.0 final release.
For those using the public git repository, a “v4.7.0-rc1″ tag will appear soon.
If you would like to provide feedback, you can do so using the Qt Bug Tracker. If you want to contribute code, documentation or autotests to Qt, all the information you need to get started can be found at qt.nokia.com.

Any chance of getting Visual Studio 2010 binaries for Qt 4.7 final?
Cool stuff!
Here is the direct link to the packages: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qt-qtcreator-prerelease#download and a Symbian package is also available.
@Valloric : This will have to wait until 4.8. Sorry.
@Daniel Thanks for the response. Building Qt from source with VS2010 is supported, right? The snapshot docs don’t have it listed in any of the Tiers (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/supported-platforms.html), but at the bottom VS2010 is listed in “Planned Changes for Qt 4.7″. I’m guessing VS2010 is supported, but this doc page has yet to be updated. Or have I mixed something up?
The beta didn’t compile in VS2010
I assume the pre-built Mac binaries does not include PPC build any more? I need PPC compatibility so I’ve been building from git for that. But recently PPC build fails on the new SSE2 files. Please make sure PPC build is still possible. Thanks.

I’ve build Qt 4.7 with visual 2010 yesterday with the last git source.
I use jom to build it.
It’s work perfectly for me.
There was a bug in MSVC 2010 which makes x64 build unusable.
So makes it sens to ship 32bit only with this compiler?
@Peter, can you elaborate a bit on the x64 VS2010 bug and about unusable?
What do you mean exactly?
It doesn’t build? Or it plainly doesn’t work?
What version of QtMobility is present in this release candidate version ?
Since no new change is mentioned , I guess QtMobility 1.1.0 is not yet available with this release
@Tangens: See http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-11445 – it’s an optimizer bug that causes crashes everywhere. Public hotfix is expected any day now.
@Aamer: The Qt and Qt Mobility release cycles are (mostly) not tightened to each other. Furthermore they are two different deliveries.
What is the state of QtMultimedia in this release? I am still compiling but I saw that there was still a multimedia module in the configure script but I understand this post http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/05/06/qt-47-scope-change-regarding-qt-multimedia/ as “QtMultimedia will be removed from main Qt and go into QtMobility”. Can anyone please comment about this?
@Axel: QtMultimedia in Qt 4.7 is exactly what was there in 4.6, for compatibility reasons. New features in this module will be present only in the Mobility release.
@Valloric VS2010 is rightfully left out of the documentation because it doesn’t currently receive the level of testing described for the Tier 1 or Tier 2 criteria. Please remember that VS2010 was in beta for most of the 4.7 development cycle. However there are Qt developers using VS2010 and willing to fix issues.
@mkalinow
Yea, I understand that. But any idea how to use QtMobility 1.1.0 with this release ? I had searched earlier,, but no luck
Visual Studio 2008 binaries! Nice!
and VS2010 (please)
Hi.
For people which want VC 2010 binary, i’ve just add a personal build for the French community on developpez.com :
http://qt.developpez.com/binaires/?lng=en#qt47
A version with d-bus on windows will normally arrived.
To use it, you must uncompress the 7zip file, download the patcher proposed and use it on the folder.
This patcher do the same thing as Qt installer. Only pdb file are not patched (We haven’t find how to do it. If someone have an idea).
To use easily Qt with VC 2010, you can create vc project from.pro with this command :
qmake -tp vc -r
May I ask what’s the different between Symbian & Mobility releases of Qt? Symbian release comes with Desktop releases is one difference that I can see. Thanks.
When will the visual studio addin for VS2010 be available?
thx.
