this is not just about missing functionality: the current QRegExp is broken[1], and renaming it won't fix that, nor will it discourage people from using it. Apart from the purist's line of thought, it's also very, very slow in a number of common cases (and really, really slow in some not-so-common ones). Getting rid of it as much as possible (and encouraging porting to something less stupid) is something that really should be done, and now's pretty much the only chance anytime soon to do that, as leaving it in place implies that it is both good (which it isn't) and maintained (which it definitely isn't). thanks, Robin [1]: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Regexp_engine_in_Qt5 _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
