Okay :) And it are those exceptional circumstances also which made me push for the bump here, otherwise I would have rather tried to have us get Qt 5.13 back onto KDE CI. Albert, commit data tells me did the last bump. Could you go and do the bump to Qt 5.14 as well now, given you seem to have some setup for that? I already adapted the respective policy like this now, based on the discussion (please fix any issues directly on the page, linked below): " With Qt6 this changes a little bit again. We interpolate "as if" more Qt 5 versions would be released: * Qt 5.13 will be the minimum required version 6 months after Qt 5.15, i.e. on 26 Nov 2020, * Qt 5.14 would be the minimum required version 12 months after Qt 5.15, i.e. on 26 May 2021. With no-one known to stick with Qt 5.13 at the time, the date was moved to earlier mid-December 2020 (see discussion<link to ML thread>) * Qt 5.15 LTS will be the minimum required version 18 months after its release, i.e. on 26 Nov 2021 The bumping of the minimum required version in the code is done at the begin of the release cycle of the next KF version affected, right after the release of the previous one. " * https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Policies#Frameworks_Qt_requirements Going to Qt 5.14 also means a bump in supported compilers, see https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.13/supported-platforms.html vs. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.14/supported-platforms.html So at least GCC 4.8 -> GCC 5, MSVC 2015 as before. Can anyone tell what the supported clang version of Qt 5.14 is? Volker, leaving the stage now for you and the considerations to update the plan for when Qt 5.15 should become the minimum dependency :) Cheers Friedrich
