I understand that, but to which point? Mac OS X 10.6 was also an important platform used by about 10% of the mac users. Yet, we decided to drop support for it. The question is how relevant it will be in 2016? Will there be so many users that really can't upgrade to the next windows, and that are not willing to stay with Qt 5.5? Are those buying enough licenses to compensate for the effort of supporting them. It would be nice to have some data to help to take a decision. Personally, I know that MSVC 2008 causes me troubles with https://codereview.qt-project.org/98658/ , it does not pass CI with 2008 and i have not idea why. Having the possibility to use decltype would simplify some the QObject::connect code. Some upstream projects such as chromium does not support this platform anymore. -- Olivier Woboq - Qt services and support - http://woboq.com - http://code.woboq.org _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
