Hello, the dlls and libs names like qtgui4.dll. I think due to the release cycles of Qt the customers are not able to change f.e. from 4.3 to 4.4 easily but only from 4.3.x to 4.3.(x+1) in an delivered Software. Only the last (.x) versions are binary compatible. Thus a naming like qtgui44.dll / qtgui43.dll did make more sense in the most projects. I know - it will be a great change, and i didn't know the influence on other customers. I made it with a few changes in pro/pri-Files and qmake itself but it isn't nice to make the changes for each release. I think an option of the troll's itself would be better.

It should also be behaviour compatible and have more bugs fixed. I know customers cannot simply swap out one version for another because things break, for a wide variety of reasons. But we hope this change doesn't take much of your time to do. Besides, any problems in doing that should be reported since they may be regressions in our code. -- [ signature omitted ]
