Hi,

I am about to release the Qt 5.4.2 based QtCreator 3.5 IDE for 14.04, 
15.04 and 15.10 with absolutely same user experience and interfaces [1].

It is a big change as we step away from depending on the Qt and UI 
Toolkit packages provided from the archives. It is a single package what 
bundles all bits and pieces what the IDE needs.

So I am calling for some volunteers to test this package before we 
replace the present IDE solution.

Here is what you need to do:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/tools-development
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk-ide && sudo 
apt-get dist-upgrade

It will add our SDK Tools Development PPA to your system, upgrade the 
click packages from there and install the Ubuntu SDK IDE package.

This package does conflict with the QtCreator and Ubuntu plugins 
possible installed on your system! But you do no have to worry about as 
this conflict does not have any effect on your projects, chroots or any 
other personal bits. It will possible effect your personal QtCreator 
settings.

The important changes in this release other than upgraded Qt and 
Qtcreator is that the Kits this IDE creates will have the Overlay PPA 
enabled by default. So I would recommend to destroy and recreated yout 
15.04 Kits (click chroots) after you have installed this new IDE.

Please reach out for me on IRC or here on the mailing list if you wish 
to join our testing squad :) For compensation I promise bad jokes

cheers,

bzoltan
