Hi,
as some of you have noticed, QT 5.2 is out. From release notes [1]:
"I am proud to say that Qt 5.2 fully brings Qt into the mobile space as a
true player in the app development market supporting Android, iOS,
BlackBerry, Sailfish/Jolla and Ubuntu Mobile."
Yeah, it would be great to see QGIS ported to Qt5. My hope is that
QGIS 3.0 will use Qt5 and Python3.
From what I have read in Qt blogs, Qt 5.2 should really make
development for Android easier than ever before.
Is there any guidance regarding this?
I mean, on one hand, I think users (plugins dev mainly) might be upset
if this change is happening so close to 2.0 release and on the other
hand we don't want to wait ten years for this to happen, especially if
this brings QGIS more easily on mobile device.
If QGIS 3 is brought as the "mobile" release, it might sweeten the pill.
Now it could be easier to port QGis to these platforms. I remember that QT,
from 5.0, uses OpenGL backend and it could render maps faster than before.
Not to my knowledge. OpenGL backend is used for QML-based user
interfaces (Qt Quick 2). But we are not using that for map rendering.
Switching to OpenGL for map rendering would be a big project.

Martin
