Short version:
We'd like to bump the minimum Qt version needed to build Qt Creator itself
to Qt 5.14 starting with the upcoming Qt Creator 4.13 (the current 'master'
branch in the repo)
Hi,
Debian sid still ships 5.12.5. Qt 5.14 is currently in the experimental
repository.
Same goes for Ubuntu. 20.04 ships 5.12.8, and 5.14 is available only on 20.10.
I'd rather wait for 5.14 to land on the major distributions before raising the
required version.

The released Ubuntu and Debian distributions usually do not upgrade Qt Creator.
Looks like Debian even ships a pretty outdated Qt 5.12...
So the affected group would be people who build Qt Creator themselves.
IMO it is not a big issue to require a newer Qt version for that?
Well, if the distributions don't upgrade Qt Creator, you *have to* built
it yourself if you want an updated version.
This is straight forward if can use the Qt version shipped with the
distribution. If you also have to replace that, it can easily become a
major hassle.
So yes, it is a big issue.

On the other hand branching of Qt Creator 4.13 is only 3 weeks away, so doing
that requirement bump for 4.14 wouldn’t delay us that much.
