Though I understand the reasoning, I think this would be confusing. Qt Creator has definite impact on Qt code, w.r.t. parsing. I'm thinking of how many releases it took QtC to support QML Enums. I think a more meaningful system would be to version it with the Qt build version, with the Z (x.y.z) being the Qt Creator release with Qt version x.y. Examples: Qt Creator 5.15.4 (5th release based on Qt 5.15.2) Qt Creator 6.0.1. (2nd release based on 6.0) Compared to: Qt Creator 7 in 2022, Qt Creator 9 in 2023, Qt Creator 13 in 2025, Qt Creator 23 in 2030. Qt Creator 33 in 2040. Or maybe no one cares about the QtCreator Qt built-with version? And maybe I shouldn't care either? I just always wonder "What is an appropriate version of QtC to be using with Qt x.y?" _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/qt-creator
