Did we reach any conclusion on this? Is this idea of renaming gui to something else: a) Awesome but nobody cares though to do it (...in which case I volunteer) or b) Good but it's too late. We are going to make the world change the include headers and we are probably going to have a qt4to5 script that makes this change? (...I do think this change is unnecessary though) or c) Just plain horrible (If there is a problem with the above idea, please let me know) Girish _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
