After updating succesfully, is it safe removing the ~/.config/SailfishAlfa3
directory?

> A couple of things you should be aware of:

> re-installed so you will lose all changes you may have made in those -
> however, if your application packaging is done correctly, rebuilding your
> projects should reinstall the packages you have been using.
> - All customization done to SDK (adding new package repositories, adding
> custom targets, additional source paths) will be removed during the
> installation process so make your own backup of those before starting the
> update.
> - If you import existing projects made with a previous version of the
> Sailfish OS SDK, make sure you select the correct kit in the project
> configuration step. Both ARM and i486 kits are available.
> - Windows users need to install VC10 runtime from
> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8328 or the
> Installer will ask for admin rights during installation.
> - Package repository contents have been updated and consequently using a
> previous SDK version with these package repositories is not supported.
> - For more information, please see the SDK Alpha-Qt5 known issues list at:
> https://sailfishos.org/wiki/SDK_Alpha_Qt5_Known_Issues.
> - Oldest Mac OS X supported is now 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). Other supported
> platforms can be found from:
> https://sailfishos.org/alpha_qt5_sdk_release_notes.html
>
> Here is a summary of changes:
>
> SDK IDE (Qt Creator)
>  - Crash fixes on OS X
>  - Yaml editor removed from Qt Creator and yaml files are presented as
> plain text
>  - Alternate projects folder can be changed from Mer settings page
>  - Better path handling for shared directories in Windows
>  - Updated Sailfish template project
>  - Handle errors in project build/deploy phase more gracefully
>  - Debugging with GDB from Qt Creator works with the Emulator and the
> Device
>  - Tooltips are displayed for Virtual Machine statuses
>  - Add changelog to your RPM with a .changes file
>
> SDK Control Center:
>  - Improved Targets management page
>  - Clean build targets are available for download via the Targets page
> (pre-configured targets)
>  - Easily install/remove multiple packages from a specific target
>  - Updates page has a "Check for updates now" button
>  - Added Harbour tools page with RPM validator tool
>
> Installer:
>  - Better VirtualBox version checking. Lowest version supported is v4.0
>  - Install virtual machines using correct VirtualBox version specific
> parameters
>  - Handle empty alternate projects folder setting
>  - Install Sailfish template project as a package making it easier to
> update
>  - Display Sailfish logo on Mac installer
>  - MerSDK no longer directly uses User's home directory, but mounts it as
> /home/mersdk/share/ inside the virtual machine
>  - User's home directory is no longer polluted with a .scratchbox2 folder
>  - Shared mounts are mounted with correct access rights
>  - Default i486 target renamed to SailfishOS-i486
>  - Rework documentation packaging
>
> Emulator:

> long-clicking on the application icon, just like it is done on the phone.
