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:

Just over a year ago we released Qt Creator 1.0. Today we are releasing the alpha for Qt Creator 2.0. And the 2.0 release is shaping up really nicely. I’m feeling as excited about the 2.0 release as for the 1.0. We have something awesome and hopefully I can convince you to try the alpha […]

The 4.7.0 TP is the first step of the 4.7 release cycle, and our goal is to showcase our newest technology (such as Qt Quick) and […]
When I started working with Qt back in 2003, what appealed the most to me was the network and GUI parts. The network part because I love network programming and have ever since I started with programming. The GUI part because of my demo scene background, but also because I never managed to get a […]
Several of the Trolls are right now in Manaus (Brasil) at the Bossa Conference 2010 and we’re having a great time. The conference is hosted by INDt here in Brasil, and the topics covering Qt directly are:
QML
QtWebkit
Next generation widgets, and
Shipping Qt apps on Symbian
but there are also talks about KDE, Ubuntu, Maemo etc.
In my talk […]
QtWebKit is a part of Qt and we’ve always released them together. With a rapidly growing development community we’d like to decouple QtWebKit from Qt’s releases. It is a project on its own, it’s developed as part of the WebKit project and therefore deserves its own release. We’re going to call the first standalone release […]
