This is a deja vu to me, somehow.
please have a look at this discussion https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]&q=subject:%22Re%5C%3A+%5C%5BDevelopment%5C%5D+QtCS%5C%3A+Long+Term+Release+discussion%22&o=newest&f=1
 
To quote myself:
"
 Hi Björn, i had the assumption you could mean that, but thats not a
 knowledge base article. I think you mean Compact 2013 uses the Microsoft
 Visual Studio 2013 compiler,? That part was also sent to me by a colleage
 from another department when discussing v8 usage( as this has vs2013
 depedancy according to wiki).  So we startet a MS Request to clear this
 issue. The answer was that the arcticle is wrong here."

 
MS promised to fix that article but maybe they need some more years for that.
 
By the way I am strongly against droping wec2013 support after just one other version, actually support for wec2013
has not yet arrived yet. So this is probaly unique for a platform supported by qt , where the deprecation announcement comes before the release of the actual platform support.
 
There is also a some importat stuff missing for wec2013 in qt 5.6 beta like no quick2 controls support, no webkit/engine support  and no multimedia support, no neon intrinsics support, no openssl support, no sse2 support.

Gunnar Roth

That link clearly states that the MSVC2013 compiler is now used with
WEC2013 Update 5 and 11, as is the latest C runtime. So, this indeed
looks like a compiler and C runtime upgrade, not simply the new IDE
targeting the old compiler.

Maybe someone with a WEC2013 installation can check this out in practice?
