Posted by Michael Larabel on July 24, 2012

After facing some delays, the Qt 5.0 Beta will likely be published in early August.

In response to questions raised on the Qt development list, Marius Storm-Olsen of Nokia has shared that the Qt 5.0 beta is likely to come next month. "We are pushing as hard as we can to make it happen asap, but with all the vacations happening in Europe right now I think it will happen in early August."

Developers have been talking about the Qt 5.0 Beta going back to June.
