Subject: Notice: Don't use Qt 4.5.1 with Amarok 2 From: Mark Kretschmann kretschmann@kde.org Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 19:43:01 +0200 Newsgroup: gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel

Hi all,

just a note to spare you some frustration:

Qt 4.5.1 has a known regression in the SVG renderer component, which makes Amarok (and many other applications) look very funny - or not so funny, depending on your kind of humor.

The bug has been fixed today by Qt Software, so it will be fine in Qt 4.5.2, once it is released. Until then I recommend against upgrading to Qt 4.5.1, unless you (or your distro) patch it.

Here you can read up about the problem, including a screenshot:

I wanted to comment on this earlier but I wasn't able to do so due to the weekend. But:

Qt: 4.5.1 KDE: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) Amarok: 2.1-SVN

[eelko@eelko ~]$ rpm -q qt qt-4.5.1-2.fc10.i386

And I haven't seen any real regressions so far (most of the time it's sitting in my tray though).

I believe Than Ngo already patched Qt 4.5.1 for Fedora.

* Fri Apr 24 2009 Than Ngo than@redhat.com - 4.5.1-2 - apply upstream patch to fix the svg rendering regression
