Hello,
I don't know. But your reply tells me that it does not matter. I guess
that the differences between Qt 4.5.3 and 4.5.2 only consists of bug
fixes and are not that important.
Have a nice day!

Hi there,
SMPlayer version 0.6.8 (SVN r3213) form the repository is compiled
with Qt 4.5.2. At the moment the version of Qt is 4.5.3. Is it time
to rebuild SMPlayer?
Does it matter?

It's dynamically linked [1] against Qt, so it will use the version of
the library that is currently installed on the system. In this case,
SMPlayer also reports that it's using Qt 4.5.3 in its about menu: "Using
Qt 4.5.3 (compiled with Qt 4.5.2)". A rebuild of an application is
required when one or more of the libraries it links against gets a
"soname bump" which would indicate that its ABI [2] has changed.
Oh, and please use bottom-posting [3] when replying. :)
