To my knowledge, the changes from 5.11.3 to 5.12.8 (shipped with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) are not really needed in our project. If I recall correctly, there were a few bug fixes that we have and had workarounds for (and keeps these around), but nothing critical. For example, setting the header font (size) for QTableWidget won't work correctly on Linux in older Qt versions, but that's not much of an issue. To my knowledge, the API of the standard widget classes hasn't changed in those revisions - so the code for Qt 5.12.8 should equally compile on 5.11.3. Since we generally develop on Ubuntu (I myself with 18.04 lts, others with 20.04 lts), we normally have code compiling fine across this range of Qt versions. In addition, we have a Jenkins slave running on a Mac El Capitan box - so any compile time issues appear right away and can be fixed with #if QT_VERSION > 0x050b00 checks. One thing, though: the stylesheet support has improved a lot in the later Qt versions, and some features are not yet available/working correctly in 5.9.5... but it seems the way Lyx handles colors appears to be working quite well, already. -Andreas -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
