Qt 4.1.2, serious bugs

[Egon Kocjan]

I am a developer of a Qt 4 based application and these two bugs prevent me from linking to dapper's Qt 4.1.2. An update to the latest version (4.1.4 at this time) would fix the issues. Edgy already includes Qt 4.1.4.

Edgy includes 4.2.0 and feisty 4.2.3 so far.

Do you still need any action on this?

I posted this bug after a suggestion in this thread:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020602.html

The question was, if bugs in qt 4.1.2 are serious enough to warrant an upgrade to latest 4.1.x release in dapper.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

The bug is confirmed and fixed by trolltech. The question is if there will be an update or backport for dapper.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

At this point a Stable Release Update or backport are probably not going to happen, as Dapper will lose support come June.
Since this bug is fixed in more recent versions I will mark this as fixed, but I will decline the Dapper nomination.
