Current version is 4.5.2, soon 4.5.3  .  Qt is already in Fremantle 
repository,
so installing Qt applications to N900 is already totally transparent to 
end user
because application installer picks up needed dependencies.
And also, there are  Qt core libraries already in flash.

All functionality that we have in 4.5 will be in Harmatan but of cource 
there
will be once again much of new features. As example, animation framework is
now separate component but will be standard part in Harmatan. There will
be pre-releases about these new features lot before actual product launch.
