[Qgis-developer] SIP API Update merged. Attention plugin authors

[Radim Blazek]

I am getting error on startup:
An error occured during execution of following code:
pyplugin_installer.instance().showPluginManagerWhenReady()
...
url = settings.value(key+"/url", "", type=unicode)
TypeError: QSettings.value(QString, QVariant defaultValue=QVariant()):
'type' is not a valid keyword argument

I have qt 4.6.3,  python-qt4  4.7.3, python-sip4 4.10.2. Form INSTALL:

Required build deps:
- Qt >= 4.4.0
Optional dependencies:
- for python support - SIP >= 4.8, PyQt >= must match Qt version, Qscintilla2

so it should be sufficient.
