[Eric] ANN: New eric 5.5 snapshot released

[Tobias Rzepka]

Hello Mike,

you can extract the archive or checkout anywhere you like. Then you'll
have to start the compileUiFiles.py in the Eric main directory. It
creates the Ui_*.py files from the *.ui files. Now you're ready to
start Eric5 from your choosen destination.
The compileUiFiles run is only needed if there where changes in one of
the *.ui files, not everytime before you start Eric.

Because the project files can get incompatible it's best to create a
backup of the *e4p. But I think you won't switch back ;-)

PS: If you're just running a Python2 installation, you're also save
with the install script because Eric4 and Eric5 can be installed in
parallel. Even the config files are not shared.

Tobias
