Hi all, I had an opportunity to discuss the module version numbers with a group of Qt maintainers, while we also talked about the need to simplify the naming of Qt Add-On modules. The conclusions were in line with the discussion on this list. However, we didn't see a reason to require version numbers from the 5.x range for Qt Essentials.
So here's a summary of the discussion on this list and the chat with the maintainers: - The owners of each module decide how they number their releases. Not everything needs to be numbered from the 5.x range but it is fine to have Qt Quick 2.0 in Qt 5, for instance - A Qt release will have different versions of different modules, so the developer will have to look up the version anyways. Documentation or auto-complete features in Creator will help here - There should be no new features in the patch level releases of Qt 5. Not all modules need to be updated in every minor release. - Recommendation: each module should have just one name and one version number. Currently this is not the case, but we have stuff like lilbqtwebkit.so.4.8, which is the same as QtWebKit 2.1 in the documentation and you import it with "import QtWebKit 1.1". There is a similar problem with Qt Declarative/Qt Quick.
