Github master is 0.7.99, which IS what 0.8 will be based of Smiley. The wallet.dat will still be based on BDB.

Ok. Are there any changes to this in the upcoming 0.8 version? Any additions to that?

So in 0.8 the blockindex.dat files are converted to the new leveldb, but are any other files affected by this switch? (wallet.dat for example?)

ok, this might sound like a stupid question, but where can I find the 0.8 test source? I'm sure it's in here somewhere, maybe I overlooked it.. The one under the github master is still the stable one right?

@Gavin Thanks for your help!

^As of Jan/13 are they all still required? Anything missing? Can I follow the instructions found here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.txt ?
Yes, those instructions should work, but build-osx.txt tells you how to build bitcoind.  See
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst
... for very similar instructions on building Bitcoin-Qt

readme-qt.rst suggests downloading and installing the `Qt Mac OS X SDK` from the QT website, but you can also:
  port install qt4-mac

If something doesn't work, post here, or, even better, submit a patch for the documentation.

Wanna compile the most current QT version on Ubuntu & OSX. So I need to know which dependencies I need to install, and I need to know which must go directly into the codebase. <- Not all of them come pre-installed on every system right?

Library     Purpose           Description
 -------     -------           -----------
 libssl      SSL Support       Secure communications
 libdb4.8    Berkeley DB       Blockchain & wallet storage
 libboost    Boost             C++ Library
 miniupnpc   UPnP Support      Optional firewall-jumping support
