Maybe I'm allowed to throw in the point of view of a user: last week we had the discussion about which version of Qt to use for a new project. What we have seen with Qt5 so far were 5.x.0 releases that were time - not quality - driven + only few maintenance releases ( 2 for 5.0, 1 for 5.1 and 5.2 ). In the past there have also been less stable versions of Qt, but more maintenance releases ( f.e 4 for 4.7 and 4.6 ) we could trust. So our conclusion was that we have a regression in quality - exactly because of the time based releases - and to act very conservative with Qt version updates. Time based releases might be good for creating more versions in time, but what is it worth, when users don't follow anymore ? Uwe PS: our discussion ended with a decision for Qt 5.1 because of not trusting all the changes that happened under the hood of Qt 5.2 _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
