Qt Releases, Snapshots and Discussions

Qt 5.3 was released on Tues, May 20.  It also includes Qt Creator 3.1.1.   http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2014/05/20/qt-5-3-released/

A preliminary snapshot of Qt 5.3.1 is available:
http://download.qt-project.org/snapshots/qt/5.3/5.3.1/2014-05-26_88/

Currently, plans call for a release on Jun 17.

There is a discussion on bringing high-dpi support to more platforms (other than Mac/iOS)

Git Branch Guidelines

A new git branching scheme has apparently been put into effect with the following:

   - Rename current release -branch to Qt 5.3.0 & close it

   - Rename current stable to Qt 5.3

   - Update http://qt-project.org/wiki/Branch-Guidelines

So there is no real documentation on this scheme yet.  The apparent goal is to have all this documented and in place by the release of 5.4.
