Hi Taylor,
As you have seen, bug 16272 is about extending the MITK build system to
handle Qt5 dependencies. The work has been integrated into the MITK
master and is considered stable and functional.
However, we do not have a roadmap or any plans yet to move the MITK code
base to Qt5. The build system changes allow you to write your own MITK
modules based on Qt5 modules, but currently all MITK Qt-dependent
modules will not be build if you configure MITK to use Qt5. This was
done to support some other external projects which are building their
own QML based application without using any Qt MITK modules.
I can not yet give any estimates or a roadmap regarding the
compatibility of Qt MITK modules or even the Workbench with Qt5. We are
not having specific requirements yet which would be met by Qt5 and which
would warrant a heavy resource investment into migrating to Qt5. I
suspect that we will move to Qt5 this year, but it will be slow and
gradually, also depending on the Qt5 support of our external projects
(e.g. CTK).
Best,
Sascha

Hello mitk-users,
I'm curious what the plans are for officially supporting Qt5 and QML
in the MITK rendering and CMake build system? I ask because I have
moved ahead with a QML based UI using the rough/unofficial support
from Daniel's qml-openview-rendering branch and noticed today that
there has been some activity on bug 16272
<http://bugs.mitk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16272>. Since this is a somewhat
major feature, maybe a wiki page would be helpful to capture
information like road map, planned design, migration tips, etc? I
suspect I'm doing some parallel duplication of work so having an idea
of what's coming from upstream would be helpful for my planning purposes.
Thanks!
Taylor
