From MonkeyStudio website:

Version 1.8.4.0b1 of MonkeyStudio, an IDE for developing Qt 4 applications, has been released. This is a stable release, labelled as beta because it doesn't have all the functionality they want to introduce in the final 1.8.4.0 release. (Note to the MS developers: a release being labelled beta means it is unstable due to new, untested functionality. This should have been called 1.8.4.0, and the version with the new functionality should have been called 1.8.4.x or 1.8.5.0.)

Changes include:
