Note that doing this means we'll be out-of-sync with the next Ubuntu LTS, which was one of the goals. We'll be late by a couple of months, which means the next opportunity won't come for another 18 months. > I would also push the "C++11 in our API" to 5.7 to minimise the risks. That's the least of the problems. The deprecations, especially of Qt Quick 1 and QtWebKit, are what people will be complaining about. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
