The Qt Snapshot Releases are regularly-released unstable versions of Qt generated automatically from the current development source tree here at Trolltech, and provided daily via rsync and via FTP.
The purpose of the snapshots is to give rapid turn-around on bug reports so that developers do not have to work around bugs that will be fixed in the next stable release.
The snapshots are currently only available for the Qt Open Source Edition.
The snapshots are intended for developers working on software which requires some of the latest Qt features which are not added to a stable release yet, and who are willing to take on unstable software.
If you are an end user, i.e. you only want to run third-party Qt-based software, and not develop it yourself, you probably do not need to use snapshots. Only when a beta-testing a version of a piece of software that explicitly states that it needs a certain snapshot version should you attempt to use one. Otherwise, you will have many difficulties because of binary and source incompatibilities.
The Qt Snapshot Releases can be used for all the same purposes as the regular stable Qt versions, and according to the same licenses. However for your own benefit, we request and recommend:

For the last 5 years a huge focus of my work has been on fonts and text. You know you went to far when you can tell the difference between a Helvetica and an Arial by just looking at the printed ‘a’.
Its unsurprising that people end up asking me what the difference is between leading […]
At Akademy (which was a great event by the way!) I had an interesting talk with Pino (the man with Okular vision ) about an almost equally interesting feature of the Adobe Acrobat JavaScript API. Quoting the reference:
Many of the JavaScript methods provided by Acrobat accept either a list of arguments, as is customary […]
I love Qt, which is one reason I work for Trolltech^WQtsoftware in Nokia. and thanks to the efforts of the qt4 on maemo project Maemo Qt4, there is yet another platform/device open to any application that is created with Qt4.
Here is my old-yet-updated Gutenbrowser project on Maemo on n810. (the copyright on gutenbrowser is 1998-2008! […]
To summarize my achievement at Akademy:
[Argument: a{sv} {”a” = [Variant(int): 1], “b” = [Variant(QByteArray): {99}], “c” = [Variant(QString): “b”], “d” = [Variant(uint): 42], “date” = [Variant: [Argument: (iii) 1977, 1, 1]], “datetime” = [Variant: [Argument: ((iii)(iiii)i) [Argument: (iii) 0, 0, 0],[Argument: (iiii) 8, 59, 31, 0], 0]], “dtlist” = [Variant: [Argument: a((iii)(iiii)i) {[Argument: ((iii)(iiii)i) [Argument: […]
A great deal of things are happening for Qt right now. Very exciting news:
Qt frontend for Mozilla engine (or, rather, has finally been dusted off and updated) Now we have two of the best browser backends to choose from. (or three if you want to use that ActiveX thing)
and
Nokia gives out free N810 devices to […]
