Correct. The clean target removes intermediate objects, temporary files, and core files, not the executable.
Qt Code: 
  1. clean: compiler_clean
  2.         -$(DEL_FILE) $(OBJECTS)
  3.         -$(DEL_FILE) *~ core *.core

What is the setting that I have to make to get this to perform as it did before.
The distclean target also removes the target executable/library, the qmake.stash file, and the Makefile.
Qt Code: 
  1. distclean: clean
  2.         -$(DEL_FILE) $(TARGET) 
  3.         -$(DEL_FILE) .qmake.stash
  4.         -$(DEL_FILE) Makefile

This boilerplate qmake output has not changed for as long as I can remember.
