Hi Wolfgang! Thanks for the bug report (and also for the patch you posted on
Phabricator).
With the new release, we decided to drop support for Qt <5.8.
As it's necessary to maintain extra code (de)activated via #ifdef blocks to
support older versions, it means that we would have to raise additional
manpower to maintain it (and as it's probably the case for most OSS projects,
we don't have too much of it ;-)
Additionally, even Debian (we all know for not having bleeding edge versions)
has Qt 5.9, as well as the current LTS versions of Ubuntu (at least as far as
we know).
Thus, we thought the userbase still being depenant on Qt < 5.8 should be small,
and it would be okay to clean up some old code. After all, it's also simply a
proctical problem: It's quite hard for us to even test compatibility with old
Qt versions.
No offense! And thanks for your effort for sure!
Cheers, Tobias
