I bumped my local qt installation to your package. So far everything
seems to be working just fine (just some basic desktop usage so far),
as it did with the previous qt version. Let's see in the next couple
of days how it behaves under normal usage.

I know about all this qt source and binary compatibility and such, but
do you have any idea about performance? Would recompiling important
desktop packages like kdelibs/kdebase have a noticable performance
increase or would this be just marginally?

Do you have a vertical LCD display perhaps? I ask because of this elder
discussion about problems in qt 4.5.0 with fonts and certain monitors:

I hope this will not be the same story.-)

Hi,

No 19" CRT monitor 1280x1024 @ 96x96 DPI + nvidia 190.42.

Seems that is the forum topic is unrelated, talks about font curruption. Here fonts are OK, the only difference is that are a bit bigger (Y) and a big more condensed (X).

Reading the QT changes, there are some about how fonts are interpreted, may be...

Thanks.

The question is if it is a regression or if it was broken and now it's
fixed. How do these fonts look compared to the fonts rendered by
using, let's say GTK?

Oh, sorry for the question.-)

I must say that the new version for the fonts looks better for me but this be
only my 2c.

And you you have a vertical LCD? But no problem if not because this sounds nice
and i hope it will give KDE some speedup.

okay I've used it for the past one and a half days on a kde4 desktop I
didn't notice any difference with respect to the previous qt 4.5. I
opened a bunch of apps, browsed the web, listened to music, watched
some videos, looked some pictures.

If there is anything specific I should try let me know (above tested on x86_64).

Maybe is related to this (not sure, I didn't a deep research)

http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4958

Under qt-4.5.3:
$ ./qt
point size: 10 -> 12.75
point size: 12 -> 15

But under qt-4.6.0:
$ ./qt
point size: 10 -> 16.67
point size: 12 -> 20

Bigger numbers than in 4.5.
