I think the main problem with requiring a very up to date Qt is that sometimes only newer versions of Qt have bugfixes. In a previous project we found the QSettings bug that lost all the file contents. Luckyly we were on 5.2, so we could backport the fix that I think landed only on 5.3 or 5.4, but people on 4.8 could not do it, since the fix required using QLockFile and QSaveFile, not in Qt4. The solution is of course having an LTS release that receives bugfixes, and that's already being worked as per Tuuka's previous emails. Is of course a lot of work, since once the LTS is released and newer versions diverge from it, things have to be done twice. And since not all contributions can be applied to both branches (e.g. the previous example), and people might still need the fixes, we would be back to square one. -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) | GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://barnacity.net/ | http://disperso.net _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
