Hi, here are the notes from the Windows session:
https://qt-project.org/groups/qt-contributors-summit-2014/wiki/Qs2014Windows We had a bit of discussion around whether to update the compilers during the lifetime of a minor release. This is relevant for 5.3 since it is planned to be supported for a longer time. For example, for MSVC-2013, options are: - Stick with the RTM / original version of MSVC-2013 for the lifetime of 5.3 since 5.3.0 was shipped with it - Update now to MSVC-2013 Update 2 and leave it as is for the lifetime of 5.3 - Keep updating continuously There are pros and cons for all options. With MSVC, it has happened that the runtime was changed by service packs in incompatible ways causing breakage. On the other hand, sticking to one version means that at some point it no longer matches what everyone else out there is using. What do you think?
