Subject: Qt version

I would like to play with the latest Psi code. Would it be compatible to Qt 4.4.3 or do I have to specifically use Qt 4.2.3 ? Please advice before I start downloading Qt. TIA.

Current development version is compatible with Qt versions 4.2.3 through 4.4.x.

I always build Psi against the latest Qt version with no problems. A couple of issues though:
1. You'll lose Compose key sequences feature;
2. The incredibly annoying focus issue: the chat window will appear behind other windows and you have manually switch to it again.
Both of these issues are Qt bugs (i believe).

At the moment, the latest psi devel needs Qt 4.4. That's because it uses QPalette::ToolTipBase QPalette::ToolTipText in mcmdsimplesite.cpp. There might also be code in other files that have an impact on the Qt dependency, but I haven't checked further
