The CI tends to always update to the latest Windows available, just as we upgrade to the latest Ubuntu or macOS when available. But what Qt supports is another thing. In 90% of conversations I have, they are mixed together as the same thing. Looking at the Qt documentation, it says that Qt supports any generic Linux with GCC 5 or later: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdoc.git/tree/doc/src/platforms/supported-platforms.qdocinc?h=5.15#n54 The same document also says that Qt supports Windows 10 without mentioning the build numbers. Unless the wording in that document is changed, it means that Qt supports all older versions of Windows 10 as well and any Linux distro, as long as it has GCC 5, but we just don't have them in the CI. -T _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
