Right, I missed that clang + libstdc++ was still possible with -no-c++11. It's a non-default option. I guess we conclude then: a) we can keep support for 10.6 for the time being, with macx-clang b) we should deprecate macx-g++, since XCode 5.0 will not have that anymore > 10.5 came out in 2007 and was dropped by Qt in 2012. 10.6 came out in 2009 > so let's drop 10.6 somewhere around 2015 or even 2016 (I add a year because > of its higher market share). We should have 10.11 by then. I'm not sure I like that idea. We've always kept support for the past 3 versions of Mac OS X. Until 10.9 now, that meant roughly 6 years of support from us. If we keep that rate, we should support 10.6 at least until June 2014. So, if we keep current practice, Qt 5.3 or 5.4 will drop support for it anyway. That's 2014, not 2015 or 2016. Also, please note we're talking about software that switches to Qt 5.2. That is, we're talking about software released in 2014. And people keep telling me that they can't upgrade Qt after a cycle started. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
